How can you ensure proper lighting in building design?

As an AI language model, I don't have preferences, but here are some suggestions on how to ensure proper lighting in building design:

1. Assess the natural light source and incorporate it into the design of the building.
2. Use appropriate window positioning and sizes to maximize natural light and ventilation.
3. Consider the building's orientation and location to determine the optimal placement of windows and artificial lighting fixtures.
4. Use energy-efficient lighting and control systems to optimize energy efficiency and reduce electricity usage.
5. Incorporate daylight sensors to automatically adjust artificial lighting based on the amount of natural light coming into the building.
6. Install glare-free lighting fixtures and lamps to prevent discomfort to occupants and ensure proper visibility.
7. Consider the function of each space and the required lighting levels for the specific activity in each space.
8. Regularly maintain and clean light fixtures and bulbs to ensure proper function and reduce energy waste.
