Window and shading designs have a great influence on energy consumption and daylighting in buildings. As far as energy is concerned, small window area is advantageous. But it is not good to the patient healing in hospital. So it is important to find out the optimum window shape which is favorable for both energy consumption and patient healing. In this study, annual energy consumption and daylight illumination levels were analyzed according to the window shapes and shading devices for a multi-beded patient room in hospitals. The simulations were conducted for 19 different cases by COMFEN 4.0 computer simulation program. The results of this paper are as follows. First, window to wall area ratio and shading devices have great influences on annual energy consumption. But it is a problem in that they decrease significantly daylight level in bed room. Second, considering the same energy consumption, reducing the width of window rather than the hight of window is desirable for the secure of daylight level. Third, increase of the number of horizontal shade is not desirable in south face of the building for the energy consumption and daylight level. Fourth, sun shade is not necessary in north face of the building for the energy consumption and daylight level.

This study examines the influence of fluctuating daylight illuminance on daylight dimming control systems. Field measurements were performed for a full-scale mocked-up model under various daylight conditions in winter. Fluctuating ranges for a partially-shielded photosensor were great when the variation of sky ratio was great. When solar altitude was lower the illuminance and fluctuating range of illuminance were great due to the influence of direct components of daylight and the interrefelction between surfaces in rear area of space. It implies that daylight dimming system would not function effectively, unless the desktop illuminance by daylight is enough. Fluctuation ranges of photosensor illuminance were lower than 50 lx under clear sky conditions, but they were greater than 100 lx under partly-cloudy sky conditions. It means that the fluctuation range of electric light output of lighting fixture would greater under the partly-cloudy conditions and cause potential visual annoyance to occupants. Outdoor vertical illuminance reaching the windows would be an effective factor that can be used to predict the fluctuation of photosensor signals for effective controls of daylight dimming system.

Exterior vertical illuminance is an important factor for lighting control. But, there are not many researches about the exterior illuminance on a vertical surface. In this study, we predicted the exterior illuminance on a vertical surface using vertical luminous efficacy. First, we calculated the vertical luminous efficacy according to the sky clearness category. And we performed the statistical analysis of the measured and the calculated illuminance with luminous efficacy. The MBE and RMSE of the predicted exterior illuminance were-1.2% and 15.5%, respectively. Second, the annual illuminance on a vertical surface calculated with the luminous efficacy and the short-term measured solar irradiance was suggested in this study.

낮시간에 창이 있는 장소에서는 주광의 입사로 제법 높은 조도가 얻어지면 그의 정도는 기상조건이나 건물 및 창의 구조, 실내조건 등에 따라서도 변화한다. 따라서 변화하는 외광의 밝음을 실내에 설치된 주광센서로 검지하여 창가에 있는 일정범위내의 조명기구를 자동적으로 점멸 제어하여 전력절감을 도모하는 것이다.

It is important to secure illumination for the driver's safety because the tunnel is a space for changing brightness quickly, and lighting fixtures of the tunnel have consumed a lot of electric lighting energy for operating in both the daytime and at night. This study aims to evaluate daylighting performance of Mirror Reflector System for luminous environment improvement of tunnel space by using RADIANCE simulation program. The results of simulation show that illuminance of bar type is higher than illuminance of pole type at 20 m from the tunnel entrance.

This study aims to evaluate the illuminance performance of sloped light guide with automated venetian blind systems. For the purpose, a mock-up model was constructed as a prototype of Korean office building with $12.0m{\times}7.3m{\times}3.7m$ ($w{\times}d{\times}h$) and south facing side-window mounted between the clerestory window($2.0m^2$) and the view window($5.6m^2$). The light guide of 1.28m deepth and $29^{\circ}$ tilted angle, is covered with 0.6mm galvanized steel sheet and 97% reflective film. To protect the room from low solar angle, a blind systems, 0.15m deepth and $30^{\circ}$ automated slat angle was installed. To assess illuminance performance, the totally 37 measuring points for illuminance were monitored. For the detailed analysis, photometric sensors were installed at work-plane (8 points), wall (7 points), ceiling (3points), and exterior horizontal illuminance (1 point) respectively. The performance was measured under clear sky and is monitored by Agilent data logger, photometric sensor Li-cor and the Radiant Imaging ProMetric 1400. Comparisons of light factor and uniformity are discussed.

자연채광은 실내공간의 쾌적성을 향상시키며, 재실자의 건강을 증진시킬 뿐만 아니라 에너지 절약적인 측면에서 시너지 효과를 발휘하고 있다. 이에 반사거울형 태양광채광시스템은 도시가 과밀하고 고층화됨에 따라 자연채광의 도입이 어려운 실내공간에 태양광을 도입할 수 있는 자연에너지 활용장치라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 태양광채광시스템을 이용하여 주거건물 옥상에 1차반사거울을 설치하고, 반지하의 상부에 2차반사거울을 설치하여 거실공간에 태양광을 유입하였다. 시스템 미설치시와 설치시에 대한 거실의 바닥면조도와 외부조도를 동시에 측정하여 외부조도에 대한 내부조도의 비율인 주광조도비를 분석하고, 증감율을 구하여 반사거울형 태양광채광시스템의 성능을 평가하였다. 채광성능평가 결과 채광시스템의 설치로 인한 실내 주광조도비는 평균 $80{\sim}1,400%$정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 창면부에 비해 실의 후면부가 2배 이상 증가한 것으로 나타나 채광성능이 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 실험한 반사거울형 태양광 채광시스템은 주거건물에서의 적용이 용이하고 높은 채광성능을 제공할 수 있어 실내 빛환경 향상에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient control system for intelligent LED indoor lighting. The proposed an efficient control system for intelligent LED indoor lighting were included to elements such as daylight intensity measured through the PIR sensor and illuminance sensor at lighting style by the schedule defined and the occupancy detection. And it was controlled lighting through to the wireless sensor network, and was designed for the energy savings. Also, the lighting control of indoor lighting based on occupancy detection detect fine movements using a PIR sensor. And an unnecessary lighting intensity control of the window-side and the inside were controlled according to daylight level measurement result using the light sensor. In daylight inflow many case, the window-side lighting was to automatically darker, and in daylight inflow less case, was designed to be automatically bright. The efficiency validate results of an efficient control system for intelligent LED indoor lighting, the brightness of the indoor light were to maximize the energy saving by controlling in real time when entering as indoor a little that external lighting or daylight.
