A Light Control Technique for Energy-Efficient Buildings in Visual Comfort Constrained Environment

This paper presents a visual comfort considered light control method for energy savings in open-plan office and investigates its performance. Simulation and pilot testing results show that more than 60% energy savings could be achieved while providing recommended visual comfort level for each user. Since the proposed algorithm saves energy significantly compared to the previous light control policies and methods, we can say that it's a remarkable energy savings technology in light control area.
