照明控制是照明能效研究的下一个前沿。T8灯和电子镇流器等静态技术的好处已得到充分证明,但照明控制的好处尚未得到广泛认可。这些好处既包括居住者满意度和生产率的难以量化的好处,也包括节能的更容易量化的好处。所有这些好处可能没有被完全认识到,因为很少有全面的,客观的研究,文件能源和用户的好处,为常用的照明控制技术,如百叶窗,光电传感器,运动传感器,手动开关和调光,和时间安排。1一些研究显示了运动传感器、时钟、光电传感器甚至手动开关的节能潜力,而另一些研究则涵盖了百叶窗的各个方面。但很少有研究比较各种策略的增量效益。2-8此外,很少有实证研究比较了手动和自动控制的相关好处。9. 10一项研究通过记录能源节约和居住者行为及反应,比较了手动和自动控制的增量效益,艾德在一座23,234平方米的办公楼的一层进行。(250,000平方英尺),位于博尔德的国家大气研究中心(NCAR)的三栋建筑群,该设施是独特的研究照明控制的好处,因为它结合了手动调光和开关,运动传感器和光电传感器。此外,控制系统与楼宇自动化系统(BAS)和数据采集系统(DAS)集成,使建筑设施管理人员(和研究人员)能够获取有关HVAC和照明系统性能的数据。
Lighting controls are the next frontier in lighting energy-efficiency research. The benefits of static tech nologies such as T8 lamps and electronic ballasts are well documented, but the benefits of lighting controls are not widely recognized. These benefits include both the hardto-quantify benefits of occupant satisfaction and produc tivity, and the more easily quantified benefits of energy savings. All of these benefits may not be fully recognized because there are few comprehensive, objective studies mat document both energy and user benefits for com monly used lighting control technologies such as window blinds, photosensors, motion sensors, manual switching and dimming, and time scheduling. 1 Some studies show the energy savings potential of motion sensors, time clocks, photosensors, and even manual switching, while some cover various aspects of window blinds. But few studies exist that compare the incremental benefits of the various strategies. 2-8 In addition, few empirical stud ies have ever compared the related benefits of manual and automatic controls. 9. 10 A research study that compared the incremental benefits of manual and automatic controls by documenting energy savings and occupant behavior and response was conduct ed on one floor of an office building located in a 23,234 m2 (250,000 ft2), three-building complex of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO. The facility is unique for studying the benefits of lighting controls because it incorporates manual dimming and switching, mo tion sensors, and photosensors. Furthermore, the control sys tem is integrated with both a building automation system (BAS) and a data acquisition system (DAS) which enable the building facility managers (and researchers) to acquire data on the performance of the HVAC and lighting systems.
