| Abstract |
Two new illumination systems for offices are outlined. One artificial illumination system is switched by electronic control units according to the illumination levels produced by natural light. Its energy consumption was compared with that of a conventional artificial lighting system. Considerable energy savings could be achieved with the electronically controlled artificial lighting system. The second lighting system uses a computer-controlled mirror and a deflection mirror to direct the sunlight into the building. Sensors are used to switch the artificial lighting system on and off according to demand. |
