Daylighting and electric lighting for sustainable cattle buildings : a systematic literature review

Sammanfattning

This review article summarizes the current state of knowledge on daylighting and electric lighting of cattle facilities for sustainable cattle buildings. The literature review covers a total of 54 publications with the aim to determine the extent of current research, identify research gaps, and formulate the most pressing areas for future research. The review process is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) followed by synthesis and analysis of the findings. The article includes multidisciplinary researches performed in animal and agricultural science, sustainability, architecture, and building science context. The results suggest that daylighting and electric lighting can impact by ensuring improved animal welfare, worker wellbeing, production, and energy efficiency. However, there are still gaps in the research, particularly due to the lack of research taking into consideration both the animal and building science perspective simultaneously. Finally, this review provides insights into the potential benefits and limitations of lighting interventions, while identifying important areas for future research.
