Integration of Daylight and Artificial Lighting along with PV Conversion System for Energy Efficient Lighting of Buildings B. K. Saxena* and Tushar Saxena** *Former Dy.

Visible range of solar energy as daylight and sunlight provides an attractive and viable option of efficient lighting in buildings. Integration of energy efficient CFL and LED with day lighting can provide optimal solution to energy efficient lighting of buildings. Daylight data collated by Central Building Research Institute(CBRI) in India under International Daylight Measurement Program (IDMP) of CIE and WMO can be suitably used for computation of daylight availability indoors. This can be effectively utilized for judicious design of window glazing with appropriate glazing material, such as heat absorbing glass, heat reflecting glass, or double glazing. For this purpose Task-Ambient lighting approach satisfying task illuminance requirement along with desired ambient brightness provides a rational basis for day lighting and artificial lighting design as well as for integration of artificial light with day light. Also, possibility of photovoltaic conversion of sunlight for indoor artificial lighting need to be explored further for lighting applications in buildings. The paper presents rational approach for energy efficient lighting of buildings through utilization of IDMP data on daylight and conventional photovoltaic and organic photovoltaic conversion for artificial lighting. 1. Introduction Solar energy radiated by sun contains a sizeable part of visible radiation within the range 400 to 700 nm. The peak sensitivity of human eye corresponds to 555 nm which tapers down to zero at lower and upper extremes of 400 nm and 700 nm respectively. Direct beam of sun is called direct solar radiation or beam radiation and the solar radiation scattere
