		+	Lighting which is well designed, correctly installed and properly operated and maintained has many benefits for building occupants, including safety, health, wellbeing and productivity. Achieving the correct level of lighting (illuminance) is important; however, quality of lighting is just as, if not more, important than quantifiable measures. Issues such as glare, veiling reflections and shadows can make a big difference.
