title = "Intelligent Hybrid Control Model for Lighting Systems Using Constraint-Based Optimisation",
abstract = "Lighting systems consume a considerable proportion of total energy budgets, particularly for retail and public-office applications, and hence their optimisation can save considerable amounts of energy. This paper proposes an intelligent control strategy to operate the office luminance in order to enhance user comfort and reduce energy consumption. The strategy is applied to an open office scenario, where the controller and the environments are modelled using a hybrid/multi-agent platform. The developed controller uses a constraint-based optimisation technique to compute the optimal settings.We describe the differentmodelling steps, including the optimisation technique, and outline the simulation results and potential energy benefits of the proposed controller.",
