Light: save costs through good planning 

The portal "bauen.de" advises builders to think about lighting before building a house. They should find answers to various questions. According to bauen.de, these include the following: "Which rooms are there and what light is needed there at what time of day?", "What intensity and temperature should the light have?" and "How should the light be controlled?".

However, building owners should bear in mind that the requirements can vary from room to room. While bright light in the hallway is beneficial for finding things quickly, it can be uncomfortable in the bathroom. Dimmable lights are therefore an option there, which can be adjusted according to individual requirements. In rooms such as children's rooms or offices with desks, natural light through windows is advisable.

The portal points out that subsequent changes to the lighting are possible, but sometimes entail high costs. It therefore makes sense to plan the lighting in advance, including drawing lamps into the floor plan. On bauen.de, you can find out what else builders can think about when planning the lighting before talking to the architect, interior designer or electrician.
