A considerable portion of the energy consumed in the electrical system in the world
today is converted to artificial lighting. Light is essential to harmony between the
activities of people in the contemporary world. With the increase in the energy
consumption by different segments in relation to the difficulty of generation, it is
possible to see the importance of efficient ways of lighting. This research discusses the
performance of different lighting system in the Masjid Tanah Community College
(MCTT) and saving the energy consumption in the laboratory lighting application.
DIAlux software is used to study and evaluate the efficiency lighting scheme through
the three (3) different type lighting system. DIALux 4.10 Lighting Wizard software is
used to design and evaluate artificial lighting scheme with similar illumination
abilities for the same office space through the use of different types of lamps and the
simulation results are highlighted. Its cost effectiveness is also studied. The impact of
use of natural lighting and artificial lighting on heating, ventilating and air
conditioning (HVAC) system is examined and highlighted. The major findings in this
research are the energy-efficient lighting design could still be achieved without
sacrificing the visual comfort and quality of lighting and replacement of older fixtures
with new luminaries can improve
