During the last years demands for higher visual comfort, flexibility of the lighting system in new type of office structures, especially intelligent building, and compatibility with work at VDU place increased. At the same time better lighting conditions should be realized by energy-effective system leading to less consumption of energy. In the intelligent building need the now type of lighting control system, also it should be included for a human-sensibility. It is shown that when designing lighting for intelligent building, greater importances should be attached to the creation of a well-balanced luminance distribution in the field and research for the people by the Ergonomics Planning.

Due to the large window area, the lighting environment of the educational space between the window and deep part of the room is not uniformly illuminated, and the phenomenon of glare is severe. For this reason, the daylight performance of DSC-BIPV windows was analyzed in order to improve the natural lighting in the educational sector. The method derives the correlation with natural lighting by measurement and simulation. Dynamic simulation confirmed that the average illuminance of the target space was higher at later than the early afternoon. The performance of natural lighting at 40% and 30% transmission of DSC has the effect of significantly reducing the amount of excess light in existing windows. Nevertheless, the actual average illuminance in all seasons corresponds to the standard illuminance of the educational facility, 300 Lux. In addition, the uniformity is also seen through the skylight illuminance ratio.

PURPOSES : Road lighting facilities increase the visibility of road at night in order to improve traffic driver safety and comfort. Generally speaking, current pole lighting has a tendency to create problems of glare and flicker. The phenomenon of glare gives discomfort due to increase of scattered light, when high luminance is in driver's field of view. The phenomenon of flicker occurs due to the driver passing through discontinuous pockets of pole lighting areas. These phenomenon increase eye strain and decrease driver safety. METHODS : Low height line lighting that distributes light lower than driver's eye level has been developed and evaluated to reduce the problems linked to current pole lighting. A test was undertaken with 4 conditions(turn on the general pole lighting, turn off alternate pole lighting, turn on the line lighting and line lighting with 50% dimming). A driver written survey was conducted in order to gain driver feedback. RESULTS : Pupil size and brow frequency compared with degree in pole lighting are reduced. CONCLUSIONS : Low height line lighting environment makes drivers more comfortable than pole lighting environment and is positive lighting method in the energy saving and landscape aspect.

Daylight responsive dimming systems are energy saving systems using available daylight. It is not popular to be adopted in buildings because of blocked daylight by shading systems. Therefore, both daylight responsive dimming systems and automated roller shading systems should be integrated. In this research, prediction process of yearly lighting energy savings is developed for application integrated systems in buildings, and then the process is applied to an example building. The predicted data which are yearly lighting energy savings using developed process in a building are useful as a part of feasibility study for determination of application of such integrated systems.

This research is investigated an energy saving system based on human detecting technique. It saves a lot of energy by automatic switching method of lighting, appliance, and so on. Existence of people on space is detected by infrared ray sensor. If there is not anybody during definite time, then main controller of system sends "power off" signal to lighting switches, and outlets. When people are detected again, turn on lighting switches and outlets. Result of this research is adaptable for classrooms and offices, and great effect of energy saving is expected.

Visual Environment and productivity are correlated. So we need to create a comfortable visual environment and maintain proper workplane illumination level. We can obtain lighting energy savings and comfortable visual environment using daylight and LED lights. In this study, we characterized the indoor illuminance level according to the sky condition and proposed dimming control strategy of LED lights. Energy savings in On/Off control mode are 40% at clear sky and 28% at intermediate sky. In dimming control mode, energy savings are 77.2% at clear sky and 64.1% at intermediate sky. Then we obtain the appropriate dimming control strategy of LED lights based on data. Dimming rates are 0-14.2-80(min-avg-max, %) for LED 1, 0-19.9-60% for LED 2 and 30-61.4-90% for LED 3. Lighting energy savings are 68.2% for LED dimming system applied this control method.

Inducing the natural lighting into building has been commonly applied to the spaces where artistic objects are displayed to create better visual environment for the appreciation. The direct natural lighting, especially through top lighting system may, however, bring forth discoloing of highly light-sensitive materials such as paintings or demanding additional cooling load. In addition, it causes to create glare against appreciators or to yield in visual distraction due to the extreme contrast on the inner surfaces of the spaces. Shading device such as louver is capable of preventing such voidable cases with careful manipulation. This study aims to provide basic design guide-line when the flat-form louver has to be applied to top lighting system. Interaction between the daylight and louver was simulated by Reluxpro program with variation of the attachment location, the angle of the lover, surface reflectivity, to obtain the illumination of the floor surface. This study yields the louver just under the top lighting window with 90 degree angle gives the most desirable way of employment when the uniform illumination on the floor surface is required.

That's the reason why LED lighting has to employ AC power inlet. However, LED is a kind of diode, semiconductor, it's driven by DC power. With whis reason all of LED lighting should have AC/DC converter in its systems. This converter causes energy loss, it's the target for lesson the energy loss. To reduce this energy loss, DC power distribution structure can be used. LED lighting system using LVDC is a kind of DC power distribution structure, but LVDC has severe voltage drop which makes non-uniform brightness in lighting system. In this paper, we suggest a novel structure for the uniform brightness in LVDC LED lighting system using IoT based network system. The constructed test-bed system of suggested structure shows this structure can con control the brightness with uniformity.

An efficient cooling system is essential for the electronic packaging such as a high-luminance LED lighting. A special heat transport technology, Pulsating Heat Pipe (PHP), can be applied to the cooling of LED lighting. In this paper, the operational characteristics of the PHP in the imposed thermal boundary conditions of LED lighting were experimentally investigated. The experimental PHP was made of copper tubes of internal diameter of 2.1 mm. The working fluids of ethanol, FC-72, water, acetone and R-123 were chosen for comparison. The results showed that an optimum range of charging ratio exists for high cooling performance; 50% for most of the fluids. Among the five working fluids, water showed the highest heat transfer rate of 260 W. Two distinguished characteristics of pulsating direction were identified. It is also identified that high vapor pressure gradient is one of key parameters for better heat transfer performance.
