input in a coal power plant? 27%
3. Fill in the blank: Electric energy represent (66%) of all energy consumed in office buildings in
the US.

by the lighting

Questions
1. What does LED stand for? Light Emitting Diodes
2. What are the example of primary energy? Crude oil, waste, biomass, wind, nuclear

4. What is the other name of fluorescent lamps? Low intensity discharge lamps
5. What is the reasons for daylighting from energy conservation?
A .Daylighting reduces electric lighting loads
 B. Daylighting reduces cooling load due to electric lighting.
C. Daylighting can reduces peak demand (usually when theres most daylighting)
6. What does global illuminance consist of? Direct illuminance and diffuse illuminance
