Biographie:

The authors are known internationally for teaching and research in lighting. Peter Tregenza was Professor of Architectural Science at the University of Sheffield where his teaching was to architecture students and his research was on daylighting. David Loe founded the postgraduate course in Light and Lighting at University College London and directed the course for many years. His research focused on the relationship between the lit environment and human performance. Both authors have lectured extensively throughout the world and received prestigious awards for their research.
