This research focuses on personalization of lighting conditions in office buildings. A lighting control agent is proposed that uses spatial context retrieved from a space model, as well as other context data, to address the challenges of personalized lighting control. Benefits include improved user satisfaction, productivity and minimized energy use. A user scenario is presented to illustrate the envisioned concept of personalized lighting control. Requirements are derived from this and related scenarios. A system design is proposed that meets these requirements. A first version of a system prototype has been implemented and validated against the user scenario.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
