Abstract

In Universities buildings , lighting is an important factor in creating an environment that is conducive to learning, productivity and public health. Besides improving students' education process, efficient and renewable energy-saving lighting can help the university be more sustainable, solar energy is one of the most important sources of renewable light. One of the applications of solar energy is Solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity which can be used to generate renewable lighting. Wind turbines can also be used to generate electricity that generates lighting. Window space is designed to enter more daylight inside universities, the area of window and the numbers of windows must be proportional to the space. Glass with low iron is used to get more light inside building due to its purity. Lighting and glare reduction are controlled using smart systems of moving openings , so by these startigies we achieve the renewable lighting in Univresties.
