CONTROL OF LIGHTING SYSTEMS
A lighting system comprises controllable window light barriers for blocking exterior light in the event of glare. The system is controlled by identifying manual adjustments made to the window light barriers, and recording external light sensor measurements at the times of the adjustments as well as recording the times. A glare event area is determined from these manual adjustments, which comprises a range of external light levels and a range of time of day values at which manual adjustments had been made to reduce glare. During a subsequent period of time during which automated window light barrier control is implemented, an automated control strategy based on the determined glare event area, and control of the window light barriers is performed using the strategy.
