The second scenario assumed a more densely occupied office with seven<br />

occupants present, <strong>and</strong> the lighting preferences of some occupants sitting adjacent to<br />

each other varied drastically. This simulation demonstrated the capability of the system<br />

to balance diverse <strong>and</strong> conflicting lighting preferences while delivering reasonable<br />

lighting to all occupants. The resulting workplane level illuminance is shown in Figure<br />

6-7, <strong>and</strong> the corresponding optimal settings <strong>for</strong> each luminaire are [76%, 27%, 100%,<br />

100%, 100%, 60%, 96%, 0%, 21%, 0%, 44%, 0%]. Only 52.0% of the light was used<br />

compared to the original all-on/off lighting configuration. The optimized light setting,<br />

the numbers in the middle of each group of three stacked numbers in Figure 6-7,<br />

diverged from the specified values (the numbers at the bottom) due to the necessary<br />

compromise of diversely specified preferences between adjacent occupants.<br />

Nonetheless, the optimized lighting stayed within 15% of the specified illuminances, as<br />

did the actual measurements.<br />
