Popis: We propose an intelligent lighting system that provides the illuminance and color temperature required by employees. This system has been introduced in several offices and its effectiveness has been verified. However, it cannot realize greatly different illuminances and color temperatures required by adjacent office workers because of the relationship between the lighting position and the office layout. Therefore, in this research, we propose a new lighting control method that considers the illuminance and color temperature satisfaction in a range, rather than a specific value, by using the index of satisfaction. Experimental results for verification demonstrated that the proposed method is effective in improving the total satisfaction of the employees. Furthermore, the proposed method is shown to be effective in energy-saving lighting control.
