Abstract: This paper presents a simulation environment and daylighting control strategy to achieve energy-efficient lighting while providing desired lighting levels at the target points. The lighting strategy is based on a self-tuning multivariable controller, which maintains the illuminance levels at user-defined set-points while improving the energy consumption due to artificial lighting. The simulation environment utilizes the so-called layered lighting design, which allows one to evaluate the performance of different control strategies. Furthermore, ...
