Abstract
EN Improving the energy efficiency of the building by reducing the energy consumption can be implemented in many ways. One of the possibilities of improving the energy efficiency in the public buildings is the use of daylight to illuminate the rooms. These standards and regulations define the intensity of light in buildings, depending on their purpose and usage. By using daylight, we can save the power consumption needed for lighting, but also provide the required level of light intensity in the room. This can be obtained by controlling the lighting throughout the room. It is possible to control lighting sources by switching on, switching off or dimming and brightening by using correctly implemented control systems. A properly chosen lighting control system is designed to provide even, necessary illumination while reducing power consumption. The article outlines lighting control systems based on the study of light distribution in a given room. It was also suggested to implement lighting control with the use of KNX system, which is becoming more and more popular building automation system. The research results of light intensity distribution are used to set appropriate lighting control parameters. The suggested solution not only increases the energy efficiency of the building, but also the comfort of usage and safety.
