| Abstract | |
Light is important for humans, because their physical attributes not only allow the vision, but also evoke its metaphorical meaning in Philosophy and Sciences, especially in Architecture. Attention to both daylighting and artificial lighting systems plays a key role in the energy efficiency of buildings, the well-being and health of its users. Nowadays Brazil has a voluntary certification program for buildings, on initial deployment, which will become obligatory in the near future, aiming at the regulation and classification of building energetic efficiency, including lighting and air conditioning. So, this research made a diagnosis of daylighting and artificial lighting joint the libraries of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), at the University Campus Zeferino Vaz, to make recommendations in accordance with the specific needs of such spaces and following the guidelines of the referred voluntary certification program. The survey included cadastral registers, measurements in situ with the aid of the technique of HDR images, questionnaires and the development of a project with the help of computer simulations. The literature review showed the state of the art concerning the aspects of the subject studied. In Phase I, the cadastral survey allowed to find out the current conditions of all libraries on the campus. In phase II, measurements in nine libraries helped to understand the quantitative aspects of illuminance and luminance distribution in the visual field. The application and tabulation of the questionnaires allowed obtaining the users impressions about such spaces. In phase III, the development of a project in one of the libraries, with the aid of computational simulations, permitted the evaluation of some proposals for the refurbishment of the daylighting and artificial systems. The choice of samples for Phases II and III reckoned the heterogeneity of the spaces of the campus. The results of this survey will be formally conveyed to the managers of the university, for their deliberations about its implementations as part of the strategies concerning the improvement of supporting infrastructure.
