GOALS OF SUBJECT
The subject shows the significant role of light as
one of the factor of forming and protection of environment. Emphasizes the
necesity of correct selection of lightinf system for specific human activities.
With concrete measurements of lighting systems it is possible to verify
realisation of energy saving options.
