Abstract :
For conserving energy in the lighting of office buildings, we developed an lighting energy-saving control system by coordinating the access control system and the lighting control system. Our system controls the light dimming rate depending on the presence or absence of employee in a floor. By evaluating this system in an actual office building, we confirmed that it could reduce about 25% power consumption of lighting.
