Operating a building for the next 20 years

The operational stage of a building accounts for up to 65 per cent of the life cycle cost.  However the ability of the Facility Manager to deliver a high performance building environment is largely governed by the initial design, construction and commissioning stage. This Note provides strategies for the design of lighting systems that will enhance performance in use and contribute to a more sustainable building outcome.
