Smarter Buildings Harness Daylight to Slash Energy Costs
Daylighting simulation using a special device that monitors the brightness of the sky can help make buildings more energy-efficient. By using a clever math technique, the device can quickly calculate how much natural light will enter a room. Tests showed that this device is three times more accurate than the usual method, with only a small error of around 15% to 37%. This means that buildings can have better lighting control and be more environmentally friendly.
