A holistic evaluation of an efficient and environmentally-sound public lighting system to control biological colonisation on architectural heritage

Ornamental lighting plans are governed by aesthetic considerations, energy efficiency, and recommendations regarding their environmental impact; however, they do not account for their potential effect on the biological colonisation present stone-built heritage. Artificial light can promote the devel...
