“…In offices' applications the use of daylight-linked control can determine energy savings comprised between 20% and 31%, depending on the geographical location (latitude and longitude), the building's architectural configuration and the facade typology (type of window and of shadings) [29].…”

“…To model the functioning of such a system is very complex because its performances are affected by many factors: the photosensor's typology, its characteristics (spatial and spectral response), its location, the ratio between photosensor signal and workplane illuminance, and the adopted control strategy [29,30]. Not all these factors can be considered during calculation process, and also the most sophisticated software neglect some of these aspects.…”

Dynamic daylight simulations are very useful instruments in daylighting design process. They allow an in depth analysis of indoor daylight availability levels and define if they are adequate to perform a particular visual task. Their results can be used to design shading devices or lighting control systems and compare different technical solutions. The use of these simulations is likely to spread in the common design practice since some regulations and green building rating systems suggest their use. This paper presents dynamic daylight simulation results related to an open-plan office, performed with Autodesk 3ds Max Design ® , which is a calculation software validated by recent researches. It is not used in academic context but it is very widespread between technicians for photorenderings production purposes. The goal of this research is to demonstrate the functionality of this software also in dynamic daylight simulations field and propose an analysis' methodology to use it.

Maintenance Factor Identification in Outdoor Lighting Installations Using Simulation and Optimization Techniques

This document addresses the development of a novel methodology to identify the actual maintenance factor of the luminaires of an outdoor lighting installation in order to assess their lighting performance. The method is based on the combined use of Radiance, a free and open-source tool, for the modeling and simulation of lighting scenes, and GenOpt, a generic optimization program, for the calibration of the model. The application of this methodology allows the quantification of the deterioration of the road lighting system and the identification of luminaires that show irregularities in their operation. Values lower than 9% for the error confirm that this research can contribute to the management of street lighting by assessing real road conditions.

“…The use of the lighting control can lead to great energy savings in this sector [4]. These lighting control systems reduce energy consumption by reducing the operating time of the lamps depending on various factors such as occupancy, schedule, and availability of daylight [5]. In recent decades lighting control systems have been extensively studied.…”

Reducing global energy consumption is a challenge to limit the rise in average earth temperature. The use of lighting controls in the building leads to energy savings. The objective of this study is to evaluate the energy savings potential in buildings in tropical zone due to lighting controls. The results of the simulations show that 47.6% of energy savings could be obtained with a dimming control and 33.3% with an on/off control in this office considered.
