This study examines the influence of control algorithms on dimming performance to determine appropriate control setting when direct/indirect lighting is controlled by a daylight dimming system. Computer simulation were performed for a small office with double skin envelope under various daylight conditions. A retractable fabric shading and Venetian blind were applied for internal and external envelopes under three CIE standard sky conditions. Unshielded and partially-shielded photosensors were used, and three control algorithms were applied for the sensors. In general, dimming level was too excessive due to the direct impact of light from lighting fixture to the photosensor. Providing insufficient lighting output, the unshielded photosensor completely failed to secure required illuminance under any daylight condition. When a partially-shielded photosensor was applied under clear sky, three setting points functioned effectively. Less sensitivity for the partially-shielded photosensor was effective to control the dimming system optimally with reasonable energy saving. However, the daylight dimming control system for direct/indirect lighting does not appear to be energy effective when photosensors without enough shielded area is installed on ceiling where light from fixtures reaches directly.

The daylight responsive dimming systems, which use daylight and automatically controls the brightness of electric lighting, according to the amount of daylight coming into the indoor, as well as always maintains target illuminance, is an energy saving type system. The control slope that decide the dimming percent for dimming ballast to run this system efficiently should be decided exactly. This research ran performance assessment applying daylight responsive dimming systems to actual space, and supplemented control slope in the sky condition for the elevation of system. Also we revaluated a system by modified control slope and compiled valid propriety and alternative for the elevation system.

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.

Recently, a drain of energy resources is issued seriously. The daylight responsive dimming systems can reduce electric energy uses. But, we cannot predict amounts of energy-saving and accuracy of system performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is a development of software for the system performance of daylight responsive dimming systems. The principle of this software based on luminous flux transfer method and finite elements method. The control algorithm of this software and daylight responsive dimming systems use the same algorithm. In addition the advantages of this software are use to same algorithm of daylight responsive dimming systems, electric power-luminous flux data and rates of frequency of sky conditions. Therefore, this software can predict more correct calculation about illuminance and amounts of energy-saving of daylight responsive dimming systems.

This study examines the influence of light variation on visual responses in a small office space where a daylight dimming control system is applied. Field measurements and survey were performed in a full-scale mocked-up small office space under clear sky day conditions. Maximum fluctuation range for desktop was 133.5 lx and it just happened once for entire monitoring period. For the majority of time, the fluctuation range did not exceed 50 lx, which did not cause visual discomfort to subjects. The daylight dimming control system successfully kept required illuminance levels for an office environment when desktop illuminance by daylight ranged up to 300 lx. The most serious contributor to the sensation of glare was direct daylight through window. The dimming of electric light was not a significant contributor to visual discomfort for the subjects under clear sky day conditions. Visual comfort was significantly influenced by the sensation of glare, feeling for visual stimulation and distraction, and required illuminance level.

에너지 자원의 고갈과 환경오염으로 인하여 건축조명 분야에서는 주광을 이용하여 에너지를 절약하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 광센서 조장제어시스템은 실내로 입사되는 주광에 따라 인공조명을 자동으로 제어하는 에너지 절약형 시스템으로 쉐이딩 시스템에 의해 주광유입이 차단되어 그 적용성이 미비하다. 자동롤러쉐이딩 시스템은 태양의 변화에 따라 롤러쉐이드의 높이를 자동으로 제어하는 시스템으로 광센서 조광제어시스템과 통합되어 사용될 때, 불쾌한 직사일광은 차단하고 실내로 유용한 주광을 유입함으로써 에너지 절감과 쾌적한 시환경을 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구는 광센서 조광제어시스템과 자동롤러쉐이딩 시스템의 통합을 위하여, 각 시스템의 제어 소프트웨어를 개발하였고 이를 통합하였다.

본 연구는 실내로 유입되는 주광을 조광제어시스템의 적용에 효율적으로 활용하여 초과한 인공조명의 광량을 줄임으로써 에너지 절약의 효과를 높이고자 함이다. 광센서는 탐지된 광속량을 신호로 보내고 그에 알맞은 제어신호를 받아 조광율을 결정하는데, 일반적으로 사무공간에서 인공조명의 개수나 행수만큼 광센서가 설치가 되어 조명기구의 각 구역마다 다른 조광율로 조광제어를 하는 것이 인공조명 제어측면에서는 효율적이나, 시스템 설치비용측면에서는 비효율적이다. 그러므로 실험과 시뮬레이션을 통하여 미리 유입되는 주광 분포를 파악하고 조광율을 분석한다면, 하나의 광센서 설치로써 인공조명 구역간의 각기 다른 조광율로 제어가능하다.

This study based on the experimental data on the daylight responsive dimming systems performance. The purpose of this study increases the energy-saving effects by reducing excessive intensity of radiation of artificial lighting through analyzing incident daylight. The photosensor sends amounts of detected luminous flux to digital control unit(DCU) as a signal and then, it can decide dimming ratios, by received a proper dimming signal from DCU. Generally it is effective to control artificial lighting with the different control ratio of each row by setting a photosensor as same numbers and rows as artificial lighting. However, it is ineffective to do in initial costs of systems aspect in offices. By analyzing the data of this performance and finding regular ration between photosensors. we will execute different dimming ratios to each row of artificial lighting by a single photosensor.

Daylight dimming control system was analyzed for an indirect lighting system in a small office space with a double skin envelope system. Computer simulations were performed for photosensors with three shielding conditions. The photosensors were placed on the center of ceiling, and backwall. Three sky conditions defined by CIE were considered. Overall, control performance was not very excellent for all conditions. Fully-shielded photosensor achieved good control performance for some cases, but partially-shielded and unshielded photosensors failed to achieve target illuminance. The variation in desktop illuminance due to daylight was examined for a variety of daylight conditions. Linear correlation between desktop illuminance and photosensor illuminance was analyzed using ANOVA.
