Smart lighting system control strategies for commercial buildings: a review

User-in-the-loop smart lighting control system

In commercial buildings, smart lighting control systems are applied to minimize the electrical energy consumption. These systems use occupancy and light sensor data to adapt artificial light in accordance with changing occupancy and daylight conditions. In these systems, the performance relies on a pre-calibration phase to achieve daylight adaptation of artificial light. Since the pre-calibrate...

Heating System Control in Commercial Buildings with Peak Demand Adjustment

Wojciech Grega Piotr Bania Department of Automatics, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-059 Kraków, Al. Mickiewicza 30, Poland [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper deals with a supervisory control strategy which enables to optimize heat energy distribution between buildings with discontinuous operation. The core principle of the energy saving algorithm is based on...

Smart Control of Residential Buildings

A Hybrid Intelligent Control System Based on PMV Optimization for Thermal Comfort in Smart Buildings

With the fast development of human society, on one hand, environmental issues have drawn incomparable attention, so energy efficiency plays a significant role in smart buildings; on the other hand, spending more and more time in buildings leads occupants constantly to improve the quality of life there. Hence, how to manage devices in buildings with the aid of advanced technologies to save energ...

Edison Revisited: Should we use DC circuits for lighting in commercial buildings?

We examine the economic feasibility of using dedicated DC circuits to operate lighting in commercial buildings. We compare light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and fluorescents that are powered by either a central DC power supply or traditional AC grid electricity, with and without solar photovoltaics (PV) and battery back-up. Using DOE performance targets for LEDs and solar PV, we find that by 2012 LE...
