Abstract: Illuminations of libraries influence readers learning efficiency, emotion, eyesight and health. Here, we apply the principles of the light distribution curves and make rational use of natural lighting and artificial lighting integrating the buildings' function and form, to create a pleasant light environment. We use measurement data analysis and calculation of illumination combined with ergonomics principles, to evaluate the illumination and glare on the Shenyang Jianzhu University library. For long-span libraries, on the premise of obtaining natural lighting through a good orientation, indirect daylight through the atrium can make up for the shortage of side lighting and play a complementary role in indoor illumination to a maximum depth of about 5 m. We provide new data to make optical quality better, to make man-machine systems achieve congruency, and to create comfortable and efficient learning environments for readers.
