We propose a self-commissioning, user-adaptive blinds and electric lighting controller for small office rooms. Self-commissioning, in this context, means that the controller builds an internal representation of the room, in particular of the room's dayligh ...
Automated shading systems have the potential to exploit daylight in buildings to save energy of artificial lighting and cooling loads and improve occupants'f visual comfort. This paper investigates the daylighting performance of automated Venetian blinds b ...
Electric lighting is responsible for a significant fraction of electricity consumption within non-residential buildings. Making daylight more available in office and commercial buildings can lead as a consequence to important electricity savings, as well a ...

The “Green Lighting” research project, initiated at the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO-PB) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), is aiming at an energy efficient integration of advanced daylighting and electri ...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether acute feeding induces changes in circulating leptin levels in humans and whether these changes vary according to nycthemeral cycle. METHODS: First experiment. Eighteen male subjects were given a fatty meal at 08.00 h. Bloo ...
We previously developed a Camera-Like Light Sensor (CLLS) to record an image or a video using high dynamic range imaging technique. The device was equipped with customized filters for adapting the camera’s spectral sensitivity to both photopic and circadia ...
From a sustainable development perspective, the newly developed automatic controllers for building services are very promising in that they increase energy efficiency and reduce commissioning and maintenance costs. But a major problem has appeared as the a ...
This paper describes how data collected during a continuously running data acquisition program on the LESO building in Lausanne, Switzerland, was used to measure the intermediate light switch probability by users as a function of current illuminance levels ...
