Abstract

We are doing research and development of an intelligent lighting system to provide individual illuminance in workspace. In the intelligent lighting system, the algorithm which controls lighting fixtures is important. In this research, we examine how to grasp the factor of influence on illuminance sensors for lighting, and we propose a lighting control algorithm which estimates precisely the factor of influence on illuminance sensors for lighting by using the regression analysis. We show the effectiveness of such an algorithm. We show also the effectiveness of the algorithm in an actual workspace.
