Abstract
Lighting and ventilation are crucial elements that impact the energy consumption of a library. Optimal light and airflow are essential for human comfort within a space. Inefficient buildings rely on mechanical and electrical systems for cooling in tropical regions and heating in colder areas. Unfortunately, in Nigeria, energy efficiency is frequently neglected due to a lack of awareness, poverty, ignorance, and ineffective government regulations. This project aims to analyze the lighting and ventilation needs of library buildings to create a comfortable and conducive learning environment for users. The project will explore various factors such as lighting fixtures, natural lighting, temperature, humidity, and air quality to determine their impact on energy efficiency. Additionally, the project will recommend measures to improve energy efficiency while maintaining optimal lighting and ventilation conditions. The findings of this research can be invaluable to architects, engineers, and policymakers in designing and
maintaining library buildings that meet the lighting and ventilation requirements for the well- being of users while promoting energy efficiency and sustainability.
