Abstract

Lighting control in office buildings is driven by occupant's demand for indoor light environment. The control behavior not only has a direct impact on occupants’ visual comfort, but also relates with the building lighting energy consumption. However, due to the effect of glare, lighting control is often associated with shading adjustment. In this regard, this paper proposed a prediction model which can accurately describe the lighting and shading coupling control behavior by fully considering the difference and diversity of occupants. The light environment preferences and the usage habits of lighting and shading system of occupants were firstly investigated and classified by means of questionnaire. Markov model and log-logistic survival model were introduced to quantitatively describe the probability distribution of various shading and lighting control behaviors. On this basis, combined with the indoor workplane illumination prediction model, the behavior of occupant's lighting and shading coupling control can be predicted. By comparing the four models considering or not considering the diversity and coupling effect, it is found that the proposed coupling prediction model shows better performance, the maxium error rate is only 13.04% for the lighting energy consumption prediction.
