Abstract: Energy engineers, managers and decision makers need analytical tools to assist them with financial savings in the field of lighting. A specific applied context is an energy lighting system with the ability to recommend energy saving measures for buildings. This paper demonstrates and examines a range of recent developments in the energy modeling field, with a specific focus on lighting and daylighting. A combination and integration of a few existing energy models were utilize in order to develop a new energy lighting tool for financial savings and daylighting analysis. This analytic energy lighting tool demonstrates the vast potential that such a system might have in the energy field. The tool was tested and successfully demonstrated, generating some practical recommendations for financial savings and daylighting utilization for any building type, and medical centers in specific. It is hoped that this study would help engineers and practitioners in the development of energy systems and tools.
