Abstract | Automatic daylighting control is an energy-savings strategy used with increasing frequency in high performance building design. (1)This type of control generally includes a photosensor that automatically dims or switches electric lighting to a lower energy state in response to natural daylight. Considerable effort is often expended on architectural and lighting design to bring in more natural light and give these systems high potential for performance. Unfortunately, the actual execution of the controls is often an afterthought. |
