“…Similar to the proposed analysis in this study, only Espejel‐Blanco et al . took the geographic location into consideration. Although the methods in considered the external sunlight, the illumination required for different spaces, and the placed spatial objects, their equipment costs were higher than the one of the proposed analysis in this study.…”

“…According to the survey of previously available researches [12,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20], some researches do not implement diagnostic analysis for illuminance standards, so that they do not know whether the illuminance is enough or too much. Moreover, some articles require additional equipment to change the illuminance of the space.…”

“…No article in Ref. [12,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20] considers the weather factor. Because external sunlight can make the space illumination rise, one does not need to turn on the lamps for energy saving.…”

The purpose of this study is to develop a novel method for the energy‐saving diagnosis of user‐side scene lighting. The method is not only to calculate the potential of high‐efficiency lamps instead of traditional lamps but also to modify the simulated correctness of the reconstructed field via the spatial field reconstruction and the environmental parameters. Moreover, it will compare the results before and after the lamps change from numerical simulations, and recommend the possible suggestions according to the Chinese National Standards (CNS) recommended lighting level. The main contribution of this study is that users can dispel the doubts about the investment benefits of lamps replacement and the sacrifices of the illumination of the field, as well as the lack of both the traditional lighting and the ambient lighting. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed energy‐saving diagnosis method of scene lighting in comparison with a traditional lighting analysis method is verified by a specific restaurant case. The proposed novel lighting analysis can save 37% energy consumption and shorten 58.4% payback time than the traditional lighting analysis. Furthermore, this study analyzes 38 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Taiwan to explain the benefits of the proposed energy‐saving scene‐lighting diagnosis mechanism. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13058, 2019
