Other than optimizing the energy consumption, the algorithm can potentially be modified with different objective functions and constraints for other lighting applications, such as stage lighting, mood lighting, and so on. 10.1.5 Human Subject Testing Two topics related to the research system were studied on human subjects: sensor placement and a comparison of the research system with a representative commercial product. Both the research and the commercial lighting regulation systems were implemented in the same small private office. Ten individuals were recruited to participate in the test. The sensor placement test studied the impact on the pertinence of the values fused by the sensor validation and fusion algorithm if the sensor locations are customized by the occupants. It also identified common patterns of sensor location choices made by occupants. It was found that the fused sensor readings could deviate from the task illuminance depending on how the sensors were placed. The lighting might not be evenly distributed on the entire worksurface, and hence the readings from each sensor could be inconsistent to some degree. Therefore, it is recommended that occupants’ preferred lighting is expressed with respect to the fused sensor values for lighting control purposes instead of referring to the pre-measured illuminance at the task area. No obvious pattern of sensor placement was observed from the test. However, the fact that at least one sensor was pushed to the corner of the desk in almost all testing cases implies that users move the sensors as far out as possible to maximize their 193
working area. Furthermore, participants tended to spread the sensors rather than place them close to one another, and this natural practice helped reduce the chance of multiple sensors being disturbed at the same time. The comparison of the research and the commercial lighting regulation system tested the preferred type of overriding mechanism as well as the performances of the two systems. It was concluded from the participants’ feedback that overriding mechanisms are necessary even in an automatically conditioned lighting environment, which is consistent with the lighting system design guideline [52]. Various types of overriding controllers need to be provided to satisfy occupants’ diverse usage patterns and habits. The research system also showed competitive performance against commercial daylight systems in regulating the desktop lighting at the occupant’s preferred level. 10.1.6 Integrated Wireless-enabled Intelligent Lighting System A self-configuring, multihop wireless photosensor and ballast actuator network along with the backend supporting system were realized in a small shared-space office with real occupants. Two energy-saving potentials of the integrated wireless-enabled lighting system were evaluated: energy savings generated from allowing occupants to specify their preferred lighting, and additional savings introduced by harvesting daylight. 50% energy savings before harvesting daylight has been demonstrated in a longterm assessment simply by allowing individuals to specify and work under their preferred lighting. The percentage of savings was in comparison with the original 194
