Can daylighting levels be controlled like electric lighting?
Yes. Through the use of lighting control systems and photocells, electric lighting systems can be coordinated to maintain foot-candle levels while maximizing energy savings. In commercial and educational facilities, light control louver systems are available to maintain constant light levels as well as the ability to turn off daylight completely to show video presentations or movies. With simple, cost effective systems, daylighted spaces can be controlled in the same way that electric lighting systems are.
