Paola Sansoni has research expertise in solar energy, solar collectors and optical tests.

Luca Mercatelli's recent research has focussed on photometry, colorimetry and lighting.

Alessandro Farini has experience in color rendering and vision ergonomy.

Encompassing a thorough survey of the lighting techniques applied to internal illumination characterized by high efficiency, optimized color and architectural integration, a consolidated summary of the latest scientific, technical and architectural research is presented in order to give the reader an overview of the different themes with their interactions and mutual effects.

This book describes light principles, methodologies and realisations for indoor illumination at low consumption. Power efficiency, color characteristics and architectural aspects are analyzed in terms of their practical application, with the interactions between scientific, technological and architectural features considered in order to supply a complete overview, which can be read both at technical level and at user level.
