The nature of tourism destination has been the theme of many research papers, which covers a wide range of areas including socio-cultural relationships at one end and geographical concerns at the other end of the spectrum.The focus of the current study is lighting architecture viewed as an essential tool to endorse sustainability in tourism destination. For this purpose, two Likert Scale questionnaires were created and completed by five experts of tourism-related fields. The questionnaires targeted lighting, sustainability and social development effects on energy efficiency, aesthetics, and ergonomic aspects. Data were gathered and tabulated and eventually analyzed by means of SPSS software. The results revealed that lighting had significant impacts on ergonomic and aesthetic aspects of tourism, but the effect was minimal when it came to energy efficiency. Also, it became clear that sustainability greatly affected aesthetic, ergonomic and energy efficiency aspects. According to the participants, energy efficiency in lighting architecture influenced economic, social and environmental development. Overall, the application of high tech lighting technology in architecture can boost efficiency in many respects. Harmonious with various aspects of human life, lighting should be deemed a priority in policies formulated to ameliorate tourism industry.Citation: Gharibshah A, Mahdavinejad M (2018) Sci-Tech Lighting for High-Performance Architecture: A Bridge to Sustainable Development in Touristic Destinations.
