Fundamentals of Lighting, 2nd Edition builds upon the first edition's need to have a textbook on quality lighting from a design perspective and has pedagogical strategies that have particular appeal to the millennial generation. The 2nd Edition also emphasizes the sustainability characteristics of daylighting and electrical lighting. To conceptualize and design a quality lighting environment requires an understanding of how daylight, luminaires, electrical sources, and control systems will affect people and the built environment.
