CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Daylighting Integration and Control: Many lobbies are designed with
daylight as a primary feature of the space. By integrating lighting controls
with the daylight design, electric lighting equipment can be turned off when
not required.
Appearance of Space and Luminaires: Because lobbies are often the first
space visitors to the building see, the aesthetic appearance of the space
and the luminaires is an important criterion. Luminaire layout should avoid
"visual clutter" of the space.
