In addition, the LIGHTING energy intensity There is a considerable body of research that describes in LABORATORIES is up to twice that of a typical office space. the impact of the visual quality of the work environment LIGHTING energy use typically accounts for between 8%. on worker comfort, health, and productivity. The appro- and 25% of total electricity use, depending on the percent priate design of LIGHTING systems is especially important in age of lab area (see Figure 1). While not a significant per- LABORATORIES , given the intensity and significance of work centage compared to HVAC systems, it nonetheless carried out in LABORATORIES and the long work hours spent provides several opportunities for energy efficiency.
