2.Light + Economics & Environment deals with economic and environmental factors related to quality design,

3.Light + Architecture addresses lighting the built environment, and

4.Light + Application presents an updated and excerpted portion of the IESNA Design Guide, introduced in the IESNA Lighting Handbook, 9th Ed.

Supplementing the Design Guide are questions that provide a checklist of critical issues to lighting projects and an applications guide.Numerous sketches and photographs, glossary, and end notes that reference other technical papers and IES publications are included.
