TI  - Energy Saving and Life Cycle Analysis of a Daylight-Linked Control System
AB  - The main purpose of this work is to examine the environmental impact of a daylight-linked dimming lightingcontrol system integrated in the Lighting Laboratory of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department,Sakarya University. For this purpose, total annual energy savings and greenhouse gas emission savings isperformed in terms of measured annual in operation data and calculated life cycle energy data. The resultsindicate that the system provides 1,519.55 kWh annual energy savings and spends 365.26 kWh life cycle energy.Assuming that life time of a lighting control system is ten years, annual energy spent by the control system isestimated 36.54 kWh/year. Total annual lighting energy savings, subtraction of estimated annual life cycleenergy from measured annual energy savings, are calculated 1,483.01 kWh which is nearly 40% of total annuallighting energy consumption of the test room accordingly. In conclusion, it is established that emissions of thetest room are reduced 2.71 tCO2 annually by the lighting control system proposed in this work.
