As energy codes have become more stringent, how can buildings meet them without sacrificing the quality or quantity of light?
Susan Martig shows how LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) can achieve these purposes in “Meeting Energy Codes With Efficient Lighting Systems” for CSE (Consulting-Specifying Engineer) magazine. LEDs have improved greatly over the years as a source for commercial lighting, she notes, while their cost has plummeted.
