A recent research trend on the Daylight Responsive Dimming Systems, using available daylight for energy savings, is to integrate automated roller shading systems and venetian blind systems which are vertically controlling daylight to indoor based on sun profile angle. Therefore, this paper suggests Grating Louver System into a pair glass as a new shading system, which can control daylight vertically and horizontally. The optimized spacing of louvers, which is to block direct sunlight into a space, was calculated. And then, the system was simulated for analysis and evaluation of characteristics of daylight by Desktop Radiance 2.0.

Daylight responsive dimming systems are one of lighting control systems which are to control artificial lightings using available daylight for energy savings. This system is not popular because useful daylight is usually blocked by uncontrolled passive shading systems in buildings. It is necessary to integrate daylight responsive dimming systems and automata! roller shading systems. In this research, mock-up test is performed to analyze the daylight distributions in three different rooms for integrated systems. Roller shades are installed in two rooms. One is fully downed and the other is controlled by sun profile angle. The other room has no shading system as a reference room.

This paper presents field measurements on daylighting and electric lighting with dimming controlled systems for a small office in Seoul, Korea. And the main purpose of this study is to provide the evaluation data of lighting energy performance when a dimming system is installed. For the performance evaluation, the mock-up room(3.6x7.2x2.6[m]) was used for the actual test. The results of this study were as follows; 1) The correlation between daylight illuminance at a workplane(Ed) and the photosensor signal(Sd) was an important factor affecting the performance of daylight responsive dimming system, 2) The mock-up office space gained a sufficient workplace illuminance of 579[lux] with the dimming control system 3) About 53[%J of monthly lighting energy could be saved using the dimming control system.

Today, energy problem has become an important issue, and a development of renewable energy is urgent. In architectural fields, a research of the energy efficient lighting system using renewable energy is in progress. The energy efficient lighting system could be realized by integrating a daylight responsive LED lighting control system and a blind PV system. This system is able to save and generate electric energy. Efficiency of this system depends on control methods of blind PV. As a preliminary research, this research analyzed power generation and inflow of available daylight according to control method of blind PV.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the slopes of control algorithm and dimming levels based on different inputs and parameters. Different parameters such as photosensor aiming angles, sky types, and seasonal changes were considered. To determine the slopes of control algorithm and dimming levels, photosensor signals and workplan illuminance values were simulated by DayDim program, which is a lighting calculation and analysis tool. A typical small office space was used for simulation and three different sky types in three different seasons were considered. This study shows that differences in dimming levels can occur according to different sky types, if system calibration is conducted in a particular sky type.

New shading system, which is Grating Louver System into a pair glass, is proposed for integrated lighting system between Daylight Responsive Dimming Systems and shading system in this study. The optimized distance of louvers, which is to block direct sunlight into a space, is calculated. Grating Louver System was simulated using Desktop Radiance 2.0 of lighting simulation software for comparing daylight distribution and changes of control slope by distance from window to back wall with roller shading system controlled by sun profile angle.

Daylight responsive dimming system, which is one of the method for utilizing available daylight. continuously adjusts lighting output with an algorithm of the correlation of photosensor signal and workplane illuminance levels. This system must be related with shading systems which are to control penetrating daylight. The purpose of this research is to analyze illuminance distributions by artificial lighting in different shading systems. Lighting power is changed by 5 levels in nighttime for comparing correlation between illuminance and lighting power in different shading systems.
