What is Daylight Harvesting?

Daylight harvesting is an energy management technique that reduces overhead lighting use by:

• Utilizing the ambient (natural & artificial) light present in a space
• Dimming or switching OFF lighting when sufficient ambient light is present or when the space is unoccupied
• Utilizing zones to stagger the dimming and switching of lighting loads depending on their distance from ambient light sources, such as windows and skylights

Benefits of daylight harvesting:

• Save money on electrical
• Automated control of lights
• Health benefits of correct lighting
