TO-22-A006 – Energy Use Sensitivity Analysis of Sensor Placement in Small Office Buildings with Dynamic Shading and Lighting

Click here to purchase
The main energy end uses in commercial buildings include cooling, heating, and lighting. These energy consuming systems, however, can be substantially impacted by environmental parameters and sensor inputs when a building is being dynamically controlled. This study aims to conduct a sensitivity analysis on the energy consumption of a small commercial office building with an integrated control system, including automated shade devices and dimmable lighting. Previous studies have focused on sensitivity of automated shades energy impacts, based on glare level, solar irradiation, available daylighting and solar penetration; others have assessed the sensitivity of dimmable lighting on energy use. The focus of this study is to assess the impact of adjusting illuminance sensor location, and sensor rotation (towards or away from the exterior windows), for small office buildings with integrated shading and lighting controls in different ASHRAE climate zones.
