NATURAL LIGHTING

Natural light, also known as daylight, includes direct and indirect light from the sun. Daylight is a fundamental element necessary for life and has numerous benefits for both humans and the environment.

Electricity Bill

Natural light provides significant energy savings by reducing the need for electrically powered artificial lighting.

Environmentally Friendly

Energy saving has positive effects on the environment by reducing fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions.

1-Sleep Pattern

Natural light helps maintain a healthy sleep pattern by regulating melatonin production.

2-Eye Health

It reduces eye strain and headaches compared to artificial light sources.

3- Immune System

Exposure to the sun strengthens the immune system and provides protection against diseases.

Depression

Natural light may help reduce symptoms of depression such as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Happiness

Sunlight increases the production of serotonin, which improves mood and produces a feeling of happiness.

Energy Level

Natural light increases energy levels and reduces fatigue.

Focusing

Natural light increases attention span and focus.

Productivity

Better focus and motivation increases productivity.

Mistakes

Natural light increases visual clarity, reducing errors.

Natural Light

-Provides a more spacious and wider appearance.

-Adds liveliness to the work area.

- Shows natural colors better.

Artificial Light

-It can create a more boring and narrow appearance.

-It can make the work area cold and sterile.

-Can distort colors and provide a realistic look

The use of natural light contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing energy consumption. It minimizes the use of artificial light in lighting, thus saving electricity and reducing fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions. It also increases energy efficiency by balancing the heating and cooling needs of buildings. In this way, an environmentally friendly building system is created and damage to the ecosystem is minimized.

NATURAL LIGHTING INSTALLATION IN TÜPRAŞ BATMAN REFINERY A1 WAREHOUSE

The system installation was successfully completed by installing 44 natural lighting fixtures in Batman TÜPRAŞ Refinery A1 warehouse.

By making maximum use of sunlight, the desired brightness luxury level has been achieved.

This energy efficiency project has improved the working environment and achieved significant savings in energy consumption.

Hourly Energy Consumption

100 70-watt bulbs consume 7 kWh of energy per hour. Assuming 5 TL is paid per kWh:

7 kWh×5 TL/kWh=35 TL/hour

Daily and Annual Cost Calculation

Let's assume the bulbs are on for 8 hours per day and used for 250 days per year:

•Daily cost: 35 TL/hour×8 hours=280 TL

•Annual cost: 280 TL×250 = 70,000 TL

•Conclusion:

If natural lighting is used instead of 100 70-watt bulbs, savings of 35 TL per hour, 280 TL per day, and 70,000 TL per year can be achieved.

These calculations may vary depending on the operating time and energy costs of the bulbs, but it is obvious that using natural lighting will provide great advantages in terms of energy and cost.
