Abstract

With the rapid development of underground spaces and manned cabins, the design of enclose-space has received attention. Humans working in enclosed-space for a long period of time are prone to fatigue, which in serious cases can lead to human errors and major accidents. Therefore, the optimized design of enclosed-space is of great research significance to enhance the efficiency and comfort of workers. The lighting environment is one of the important objectives of the optimized design of enclosed-space, and the current research on lighting design often focuses on single-objective reduction of energy consumption or improvement of visual effects, and lacks attention to non-visual effects. We propose multi-objective optimal control strategy for enclosed-space lighting systems, taking the visual effects, non-visual effects, and energy efficiency of lighting as the optimization objectives and constraints, combined with multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm. Firstly, we obtain a set of optimal Pareto front solution for the dimming level by improving the algorithm. Secondly, to select appropriate lighting strategies according to different working scenarios, we introduce the fuzzy integrated evaluation method of experts to find the best compromise. Finally, we used a manned simulated enclosed cabin based on DIALux evo for a case study to compare the optimization results with baseline solutions. The results show that when we employed the improved dimming strategy, the energy efficiency and visual comfort were significantly improved compared with the baseline lighting design. The proposed method can satisfy human non-visual effects requirements, providing a research reference for future enclosed-space lighting optimization.
