Abstract:
We have been engaged in the development and research of an intelligent lighting system, which allows both improving comfort of office workers and reducing power consumption. The results of our demonstration experiments in a real office environment showed that an intelligent lighting system is effective. Consequently, it is required to consider the introduction and operation of an intelligent lighting system. In a current intelligent lighting system, it has to be constructed for each office as it needs to be configured by creating a unique network. In addition, lighting control methods differ by vendors and a system needs to be configured differently for each vendor. For these reasons, there are problems in introducing and operating an intelligent lighting system in a large-scale environment. We thus propose an intelligent lighting system configured by using the BACnet communication protocol, which has increasingly spread in recent years, for the purpose of making it easier to introduce and operate an intelligent lighting system. Our verification experiments and simulation showed that an intelligent lighting system configuration using BACnet was effective.
