Traditionally, when lighting a given space projects is done intuitively, improving the design by the method of trial and error, based solely on his own will or individual preferences and regardless of knowledge of research in lighting or the needs and preferences of the end user. Sometimes, this system becomes costly and inefficient since all design responsibility lies with the will of the designers. On the other hand, research in lighting has also been removed from the world of lighting designer and user. Studies that have tried to analyze the user response to the bright atmosphere come from the field of psychology or engineering and have not taken into account in studying the parameters of light design that can respond to user needs. The purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology using Kansei Engineering assess the emotional response of users to the lighting in order to design efficient emotionally lit spaces. The proposed methodology can have important implications for the energy efficiency of buildings since it allows the user to know the answer to different lighting features and concentrate efforts on those parameters that are really appreciated by users.
