Ergonomic and Economic Office Light Level Control

Light regulation systems in industrial or office buildings play an important role minimizing the use of fossil energy resources, while providing both economic and ergonomic optimal functionality. Although resolve problem interaction disturbance mitigation by constant light levels exclusively from artificial sources, landscapes may benefit up to a 20% decrease costs if mixed sources are optimized properly. In this paper, we propose theoretical framework based on model predictive control (MPC) multi-system with strong dynamic interactions multi-objective cost optimization. Centralized distributed strategies compared various landscaping structures functionality conditions. Economic indexes evaluated scaled laboratory setting.
