Abstract
The lighting integrates the key factors in creating a desirable environment to space. The hospital environments represent, in general, a type of buildings whose activity has a significant energy saving potential. The type of activity, combined with the specifics of the health sector, makes this type of buildings a target for analysis and energy optimization. This work will therefore focus on understanding the analysis of methods of lighting design from the point of view of hospital environments, using the various possibilities of use of lighting calculation RELUX PRO tools, which are tested in the program through interior simulations performed for a hospital environment, more specifically a clinical analysis laboratory using lighting technology such as light-emitting diodes (LED´s) seeking to compare with the current installation taking into account the most relevant criteria.
