“…Lighting Retrofit Systems (LRSs) applied to buildings are used in an extensive way aiming to energy savings. Once an LRS has been applied to such a building, it is usually followed by a number of necessary verification steps to make sure that lighting upgrade has fulfilled an acceptable level of energy savings, cost, quality of lighting conditions and occupant comfort [44]. A practical study implemented in Malaysia on residential sectors has aimed to measure energy savings and emission reduction of lighting retrofit [45].…”

Lighting systems are one of the highest energy consumptions specifically in buildings. Thus, by designing energy efficient systems, it would contribute much to buildings energy savings. Therefore, this paper motivation is to review a number of lighting systems designs applied to many types of buildings. It is then so important to discover what methods and systems which have been proposed to save energy in buildings in term of lighting. By finding out what proposed systems are for different types of buildings, designers and respective researchers e.g., buildings engineers would find possibility and applicability of such lighting systems for certain types of buildings to achieve higher energy savings than some other systems when applied to the same types of buildings. Such a relation between reviewed lighting systems with types of buildings would be helpful for many researchers from different fields. There exist numerous factors that play an important role in achieving higher energy savings rate on which efficient energy lighting systems rely. This paper aims to review several types of lighting systems designs applied to different types of buildings. Additionally, performance(s) of lighting systems might vary depending on the design of the lighting system to achieve higher buildings' energy savings. In this review paper, several past studies that utilized Information and Communication Technology (ICT) from the perspective of energy Informatics for a smart lighting system that efficiently achieves energy savings have been considered. This paper has considered different types of lighting systems and types of buildings. Cited papers in this review paper are derived from six digital libraries which are: IEEE Xplore Digital Library, ScienceDirect, MDPI, Emerald Insight, ACM DL, and Taylor & Francis Online. INDEX TERMS Lighting systems, buildings energy savings, daylight systems, occupancy-based lighting systems, large scale buildings, sky view factor, rural buildings, ICT for energy informatics.

“…The lighting monitoring protocol for retrofits described by the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme of the International Energy Agency includes a "user assessment" portion where occupant ratings are captured (IEA 2016). A case report using this tool has also been described (Gentile et al 2016). It assesses individual features but does not include a broad question assessing overall satisfaction with lighting.…”

Lighting is an important component of indoor environmental quality that can affect occupant satisfaction, well-being and productivity. Lighting quality is a broad abstract concept and this has implications for its assessment. Subjective evaluations of lighting are an important complement to objective photometric information; however, there is limited existing guidance for the selection of such measures. We review and highlight the advantages and limitations associated with measures of general lighting quality and discomfort glare. Existing measures of lighting quality have broad coverage of individual lighting features but do not always clearly form cohesive scales measuring an underlying construct. Questions used in experimental glare research focus narrowly on glare severity, with ambiguous response rating scales. There is a need for the development of reliable and valid tools to assess lighting quality and its components, with clearly defined definitions and constructs, and explicit reporting of psychometric scale properties. The development of rigorous self-report tools will improve the understanding and design of quality lighting environments. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The luminance distribution, relevant for high quality lighting (Gentile et al, 2016;Kruisselbrink et al, 2018;Van Den Wymelenberg, 2012), can be measured using camera-based systems, such as high-end, commercially available, luminance cameras but also using off -the-shelf cameras (Inanici, 2006;Kruisselbrink et al, 2017). These systems generally use High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging, where sequential exposure bracketing is applied to capture the dynamic range of the real world (Reinhard et al, 2006).…”
