Information Paper 5/87 Lighting controls: an essential element of energy-efficient lighting
Publication Year

Abstract
Substantial energy and cost savings may be made if lighting is appropriately controlled to make full use of available daylight and to eliminate lighting use when the rooms are unoccupied. This paper illustrated the robustness of the control strategies given previously in BRE Digest 272 by reference to practical experience gained in projects sponsored by the Department of Energy as part of the Energy Efficiency Demonstration Scheme. In these projects energy savings of 30-46% were achieved compared with manual switching.
