The Gherkin building in London uses an intelligent building system to maximize daylighting and minimize energy usage. Windows are computer controlled to automatically open when temperature and wind conditions allow, bringing in natural light while reducing heating and cooling needs. Over 790 windows can open to lightwells. Similarly, Bosch's Singapore campus uses sensors to optimize electric lighting based on ambient light levels, turning lights on or off and dimming them accordingly to save energy during daylight hours without compromising occupant comfort. Intelligent building systems that integrate lighting, occupancy detection, temperature and other data help facilities managers operate buildings more efficiently while improving occupant well-being.

Daylight harvesting and light scheduling :
With the ambient light tracking and light control functionality, we have optimized how the Bosch Singapore campus uses electric lights, ensuring better comfort and ultimately, saving energy. •From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., the lights in open space areas of the office are switched on in daylight harvesting mode. This means they autonomously dim or brighten depending on the amount of daylight entering the building. •From 7 p.m. onwards, the lights are scheduled to switch to presence detection mode, triggered by motion and sound. This way, we save electricity in unoccupied areas of the office. •Lights in meeting and conference rooms remain in presence detection mode. •On weekends, the lights across the whole office automatically switch to presence detection mode to minimize energy consumption. Importance of intelligent building systems for day lighting : • Lighting plays a major role in the infrastructure of a building, and with advances in smart building technology, energy efficiency and lighting control is easier than ever. This system gives the ability to set lighting schedules, dedicated lighting controls systems also enable dimming control and "daylight harvesting"; turning off lights near windows when the outside light level is high enough. These are the most common ways lighting in buildings is managed to save energy, but the role of lighting in a smart building doesn’t have to end there.
• Lot platforms such as Enlighted(Enlighted is the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions company that delivers the leading technology platform for smart buildings) provide lighting controls that enable the building to sense occupancy patterns, and become more smart-enabled. This new breed of lighting control features a small smart sensor that can be fitted into light fixtures and elsewhere. The sensor can track motion, power usage, ambient light and temperature, and act as a Bluetooth beacon. Apart from the obvious benefit of saving energy, occupancy monitoring provides plenty more.
• If every light in your building had sensors, the data captured could help building managers make smarter decisions. Data from motion can show how often a space is used, typical pathways through the building, and how the ambient light and temperature changes throughout the day. It helps make an intelligent building more intelligent. Occupant comfort Measuring, and improving control of various aspects of our indoor environments for the well-being of a building’s occupants is becoming a greater priority for building operators. Occupant comfort is concerned with temperature, humidity, air quality, natural lighting, and during pandemic times, safety. Lighting controls that can detect temperature and ambient light levels can help create a more comfortable environment while also adjusting to circadian rhythms for a more biophilic environment (one that mimics nature).
