- It is highly important to direct light movement to decrease energy usage and general housing maintenance costs. Directing lightning means controlling and regulating the outcoming light from light source. Environmentally friendly light direction helps to save up to 70% of electrical energy if electrical ballasts are used. Movement and daytime sensors also help to save even more energy.
- In Rohuaia Kindergarten DALI also known as Digital Adressable Lighting Interface lighting system is currently being used. With this system lightning can be directed in two ways - this helps to keep an eye on how the lamps are working and how strong is the lightning.
- Dimming the lights or dimmering is used to describe a dimmer switch, a rheostat or similar device by which the intensity of an electric light may be varied. The lightning regulator devices are called dimmers.

- Cooling systems take up the biggest majority of water intake in buildings.
- Instead of using cooling systems, it is recommended to use window drapes instead. You can easily roll them down to cover the windows and this method is used in Rohuaia Kindergarten’s Atrium as well.
- In addition to indoor window covers, Rohuaia Kindergarten has got outdoor window covers which open and close automatically according to the weather and temperature outside.
- Outdoor window covers prevent the window from overheating while keeping the temperature inside normal.
- At the upper floor of the kindergarten, the architecture is built in a way that sun does not overheat parts of the building.
- The window covers help to regulate the light as well, for an example - especially in the spring when the bright sun would reflect from the windows.
