本文介绍了在隧道照明中采用遮阳结构节能的建设性建议。这些结构的目的是减少隧道入口的阳光水平。因此，这样的日光减少将减少入口和出口的人工照明需求，从而进一步节约能源，而无需使用控制方法进行额外的智能干预。遮阳结构的美观外观需要在不牺牲交通安全要求的情况下考虑。除了降低初始成本外，节能还使遮阳结构成为永久安装的好选择，与传统照明装置相比，它的维护要求低。我们的建议可以同样应用于新隧道和地下通道的设计阶段，或作为改造现有道路结构，使其成为绿色能源设施。效果图和回报计算预测了阴影结构在隧道照明节能方面的蓬勃发展。这项研究表明，可以节省高达50%的照明用电负荷。
This paper introduces a constructive proposal to save energy in tunnels lighting using shading structures. These structures aim at the reduction of sunlight levels at tunnels portals. Accordingly, such sunlight reduction will reduce the artificial lighting requirements at the entrances and exits and hence provide further energy saving without additional smart intervention using control methods. The aesthetic appearance of shading structures needs to be considered without sacrificing the traffic safety requirements. The energy saving in addition to initial costs reduction render shading structures as a good candidate for permanent installations with low maintenance requirements compared to conventional lighting installations. Our proposal could be applied equally at the design stage of new tunnels and underpasses, or as a retrofit for existing roads structures to turn them into green energy facilities. Renderings and payback calculations predict flourishing future for the proposed tunnel lighting energy conservation by shade structures. This study shows that up to 50% saving in the lighting electrical load can be achieved.
