User attitudes toward occupant controlled office lighting

Abstract: The use of locally addressable dimmable lighting systems has been examined in 14 open-plan office buildings. This paper discusses user attitudes toward control systems and the luminous conditions they produce. The majority of users are satisfied with both the quantity and quality of light on their workstations and are generally positive towards systems. This is despite large numbers of them working in illuminances significantly below current CIBSE recommendations. This indicates a significant potential for ene… Show more

“…In another analysis of 27 an office building with user control, Moore and colleagues showed an increased importance of lighting 28 control as levels of discomfort are raised. However, the study also shows that around one-third of the 29 occupants reports a negative perception of controls, suggesting a partial failure of current lighting control 30 systems [8]. 31…”

“…Findings suggest that automated systems have the potential to reduce energy consumption [19]. Nevertheless, allowing a user to have control over its lighting has a positive effect on user comfort [20] and may still result in reduced energy consumption, compared to automated systems aiming for legislation standards [21]. The use of smart systems that employ principles of artificial intelligence may further contribute to the balance between user comfort and energy consumption [22].…”

“…The above study was followed by a third investigation two years later, from January to March, which included a questionnaire administered to the occupants to investigate luminous conditions and user attitudes toward the lighting control systems [56][57][58]. Seven of the 14 UK office buildings visited incorporated user-controlled lighting (191 respondents), whereas seven had no user control (161 respondents).…”
