The role of lighting is developing into a topic considered alongside sustainable development. Some years ago, lighting installations fulfilled technical requirements and consumed only enough energy for the accurate completion of visual tasks. This recently changed due to several discoveries in the matter of non-visual paths, whose influence on users' well-being, safety, mood, and productivity is starting to be applied to installations. Today, we know that sustainable development depends on many factors but we are only now beginning to understand how accurate lighting can be used to promote development from different perspectives. The present book compiles work dealing with the way lighting installations must be designed to work in an efficient and sustainable way, together with the way lighting can be used to contribute to sustainable development beyond the well-know savings in energy, green-house gas emissions, and raw materials consumption. The union of both concepts, sustainable lighting and lighting for sustainability is what is call "total lighting", the global framework with which the lighting community will work in the near future.

This study examines how policies to increase energy efficiency in buildings in the European Union and Australia have worked and draws implications for the design of similar public policies for the United States. It appears that effective policies to promote energy efficiency can be devised using information disclosure, building codes, financial incentives, and benchmarking. Insights are presented to help designers of analogous U.S. policies.

Das Handbuch für die energetische Sanierung von historischen Gebäuden basiert auf bauphysikalischen Prinzipien und berücksichtigt zugleich die Kriterien zur Erhaltung von historischer Bausubstanz. In einem holistischen Ansatz werden, von der ersten Diagnose bis hin zu klaren und pragmatisch gestalteten Interventionen, drei Grundsätze des energieeffizienten Gebäudes verwoben: Erhaltung der historischen Bausubstanz, Nutzerkomfort und Energieeffizienz. Mit Konstruktionsbeispielen, umfangreichen Berechnungen und Ergebnissen von Messreihen, die anhand von acht Best-Practice-Fallstudien erstellt wurden, ist das Handbuch ein unverzichtbares Instrument für die Instandsetzung und energetische Ertüchtigung von historischen Gebäuden. Die Inhalte wurden über mehrere Jahre von einem interdisziplinären Forscherteam erarbeitet und spiegeln die ganze Bandbreite der verschiedenen Fachkompetenzen wider. This handbook holistically summarises the principles for the energy retrofitting of historic buildings, from the first diagnosis to the adequately designed intervention: preservation of the historic structure, user comfort, and energy efficiency. The content was developed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers. The wide range of different expertise, design examples, calculations, and measuring results from eight case studies makes this manual an indispensable tool for all architects, engineers, and energy consultants.
