Does LEED assure a high-quality lighting design?
No. Just like “meeting light level requirements” won’t necessarily result in a good lighting design, meeting LEED requirements does not guarantee a good lighting design. Indeed, more energy and Earth resources will be wasted if an efficient and more sustainable lighting system results in unhappy and dissatisfied occupants who use the built setting less frequently or less productively. Lighting criteria and priorities should be based on discussions in Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8.
