What is Daylighting?

5

• Daylighting’s objective is…to minimize the amount of

artificial light thereby reducing electricity costs.

• Daylighting is… the practice of placing windows or other

openings and reflective surfaces so that during the day natural

light provides effective internal lighting.

• Daylighting can also…lower HVAC costs. Properly controlled

natural daylighting generates hardly any heat compared to its

electrical lighting counterpart.

14

• Sky Factor

Daylight Concerns:

15

• Sky Factor

Amount of sun varies every day

Number of days of sun per year varies with every city

‘Sunnier’ cities will have higher ROI and faster payback than others

Control system needs to be commissioned appropriately for the climate type

Commissioning requirements should be included in the programming scope

and the CSI specifications to suit the clients expectations

Example: Miami has quickly passing clouds, select a slower ‘Response time’ (2min.)

Seattle has slowly passing clouds, select a faster ‘Response time’ (30 sec.)

Daylight Concerns:

• Sky Factor


17

South-facing windows are most advantageous

for daylighting and for moderating seasonal

temperatures. They allow most winter sunlight

into a building but little direct sun during the

summer, especially when properly shaded.

North-facing windows are also advantageous

for daylighting. They admit relatively even,

natural light, producing little glare and almost no

unwanted summer heat gain.

Although east- and west-facing windows

provide good daylight penetration in the morning

and evening, respectively, they should be limited.

They may cause glare, admit a lot of heat during

the summer when it is usually not wanted, and

contribute little to solar heating during the winter.

What is Daylight

Harvesting?

33

What is Daylight Harvesting?

34

A control system used in sustainable architecture that reduces the use

of artificial lighting with electric lamps in building interiors when natural

daylight is available, in order to reduce energy consumption.

Daylight Harvesting

Techniques

35

Daylight Harvesting: Open Loop Systems

36

Open Loop Sensor: Example #1

• The photosensor detects the amount of

available daylight only

• It can be positioned:

• on the building's exterior wall or roof

• or inside the building facing the skylight

• or inside the building facing the skylight

• or inside the building facing the window

• Allows multiple zones of fixtures to be

controlled with a single photosensor

Example #2

Daylight Harvesting: Closed Loop Systems

38

Closed Loop:

• The photosensor detects the combination of

daylight and electric light

• It should be positioned:

• away from direct sunlight

• away from direct artificial light

• where it can measure reflected light off

a surface from both the natural and

artificial light

• Allows you to define a single set point and

vary the zones to achieve it

• Each independently controlled zone requires

a photosensor

Ten Design Principles for Daylighting • Configure room so that occupied floor area is

within daylighting zones, typically about 15

feet from the window wall or below skylights.

• Elongate wings of the building on east/west

axis to avoid glare and solar heat gain

• Bring the light in high. Windows high on the

wall allow light to penetrate further into the

space.

• Use skylights to daylight areas without easy

access to windows.

• Let daylight in from more than one side of the

room when possible.

• Provide views where appropriate, but diffuse

or block direct sunlight to avoid glare/heat.

• Use light colored interior surfaces to reduce

luminance contrast and improve coverage.

• Control first costs by avoiding excessive

glazing.

• Promote “daylighting behaviour” within the

building by educating occupants to open

blinds when possible.

• Use automated controls to dim or switch off

electric light when daylight is sufficient.

Daylight Switching

Vs. Daylight Dimming

40

Daylight Harvesting: Switching or Dimming?...

41

Recommended for:

Day lit spaces where non-detailed tasks take

place (ie: warehouse, factory, gym)

Day lit spaces where switching is not

distracting

Daylight Bi-Level Switching

Advantages

• 3+ levels of lighting

• Cheaper than full dimming

• Additional energy savings

Disadvantages

• Somewhat distracting

• Additional ballast(s) &

wiring needed

• Additional cost vs switching

Daylight Harvesting: Switching or Dimming?...

42

Recommended for:

Day lit spaces where detailed tasks are being

performed (Classrooms, Labs, Office Spaces)

Day lit spaces where exact fc levels are needed

Daylight Dimming – Unlimited levels of daylight can be reached.

Advantages

• Exact fc level can be

maintained at all times

• Most comfortable for clients

• Highest energy savings

Disadvantages

• $ Dimming ballast/driver

needed

• Commissioning may require

more time

Daylight Harvesting

Codes

43

Daylight Harvesting Codes: ASHRAE 189.1 - 2010

44

Automatic Lighting Controls - expanded to include:

- daylight harvesting

- manual-ON and bi-level occupancy sensing

- bi-level switching in some stack and egress and outdoor

applications.

Submetering: Major building systems such as HVAC & lighting

are required to be submetered and the data fed to a data

acquisition system for storage and later retrieval.

On-Site Renewables: Buildings must provide for future

installation of on-site renewable energy systems.

LPD: Lighting power densities capped at 90% of those in 90.1-07

Peak Load Shedding: In addition, buildings must contain

automatic demand-response systems enabling peak electric

demand to be reduced by at least 10%.

Daylight Harvesting Codes: ASHRAE 90.1 - 2010

45

Daylighting Requirements:

Developed in conjunction with Title 24

Requires the installation of skylights when appropriate

Daylit areas must have multi-level control:

• At least 2 levels of output, 0-35% & 50-70%, All On

• Or Continuous Dimming

Top Lighting: (Skylights & Rooftop Monitors)

- Applied if daylight area under skylight

and rooftop monitors is >4000 ft2

Side Lighting: (Vertical Glazing)

- Applied if sidelit area is >1000ft2

Daylight Responsive Control

+ C405.2.3

• Daylight harvesting required:

• Spaces with >150W general lighting within daylight zone

• Exceptions: healthcare, dwelling/sleeping units, food/drink consuming areas, shops and stores.

• Exception: area of fenestration is <24sqft

• Exception: distance from fenestration to nearest obstruction is shorter than the distance from the bottom of the fenestration to the top of the obstruction

• The daylight harvesting controls must be readily accessible

• The daylight harvesting controls must be capable of being calibrated within the space they are affecting

Daylight Harvesting

Controls &

Commissioning

47

Daylight Harvesting Controls: Photosensors

48

Photosensors

Used to measure the quantity of daylight in the space then determine the

amount of dimming or switching required to maintain the design work

plane illuminance level.

Typical Open Loop

Photosensor

Typical Closed Loop

Photosensor

• 0-10V signal

• 3-300, 30 to 3000, or 60 to 6000

footcandle range

• 0-10V signal

• Measures 0-70 footcandles

Daylight Harvesting Controls: Direct Method vs. Processors

49

Processor Method - A processor is the brains of a Daylight Harvesting control system. It

receives data input from the photocell and then sends a signal to:

- the ballast or light fixture to turn on/off/dim

- keypads and/or touchpanels for override

- facility energy management & monitoring system

- shade system

* It also makes it easy to commission and change

the settings of the photocell remotely as needed.

Direct Method - Wiring the lighting ballast & photocell together.

Typical for some open-loop systems. Extreme limitations in

control capability. Not recommended

Daylight Harvesting: Commissioning Terminology

50

Response Time – defines how quickly the system reacts to changes in light levels

Minimum Dim Level – defines the lowest level a dimmer may output (can be used to

prevent the lights from turning completely off when dimming)

Dim Level To Photosensor Relationship (Open-Loop) – defines dimmer output levels

in relationship to open-loop photosensor readings

Desired Light Level (Closed-Loop) – defines the desired light level in the space

Photosensor Range – set photosensor fc range (3-300, 30-3000, 60-6000, etc.)

(Sensor voltage output to light level relationship needs to be defined in the system)

The following settings are common parameters when configuring the

operation of a daylight harvesting system:

51

To Think About…

There are various techniques available to incorporate daylight harvesting into a

commercial project

The benefits of daylight harvesting (including energy savings) outweigh any of the

prior concerns due to the new technology, programs, & simple commissioning

tools that are now available from various manufactures

The only way we will truly reach future sustainable goals is to integrate Daylight

Harvesting into more than just lighting, and then look at the big picture…

…Integrated Building Technology.

The IBT Solution

The President of a fortune 500 company schedules an 9:00am meeting, in the summer, to be held in the conference room and wants to present a power point

The meeting is cancelled at the last minute, but the IT department is not notified. The lights & projector remain on for the rest of the day. The blinds remained closed. The HVAC system continues to cool an unoccupied room. Other employees would like to use the conference room later on in the day, but go elsewhere because they are not sure if there is a meeting about to begin in the conference room or not.

Non-Integrated Example

• He sends out meeting invite via Outlook Calendar

• Emails IT department to prepare the room which includes: setting up & turning on the projector, manually closing the blinds, adjusting the thermostat to pre-cool the room down to prepare for a large group of people, and turning the lights on

Integrated Example

• Sends out meeting invite via Outlook Calendar

The meeting is cancelled at the last minute. At 9:10am the room’s occupancy sensor senses no presence & sends a signal to the building’s Energy Management System which automatically turns the lights & projector off, the motorized blackout shades open, the hvac system stops cooling and returns to an un-occupied set point temperature, and the Outlook integrated touch screen next to the door indicates the room is ‘Open’ and others may use it

• 5 minutes before the meeting is to begin, the room automates to a pre-programmed ‘AV Presentation’ preset. The lights go to a preset scene, the projector warms up, the blackout shades close, and the room pre-cools itself down to a pre-determined set point temperature for an occupied space

Buildings perform better. Buildings save energy.
