A load control system for a building having a lighting load, a window, and a heating and cooling system comprises a lighting control device for controlling the amount of power delivered to the lighting load, a daylight control device (such as a motorized window treatment) for adjusting the amount of natural light to be admitted through a window, and a controller for adjusting a setpoint temperature of the heating and cooling system to thus control a present temperature in the building. In response to receiving a demand response command, the controller controls the lighting control device, the daylight control device, and the heating and cooling system so as to decrease a total power consumption of the load control system. The load control system may comprise a controllable switching device for disconnecting power to or disconnecting the control lines to one or more components of the heating and cooling system.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for calibrating a lighting control system. The lighting control system is a daylight-harvesting system that controls the output of the lighting system based on available daylight and/or other light sources to reduce energy usage while providing lighting for an area. The lighting system includes multi-level lighting capabilities for one or more light sources. First, the system measures the light levels for the area when the lighting system: is turned on at a high energy-level; is turned on at an intermediate energy-level; and is turned off. The system determines from these measured light levels the light output of the lighting system in the different states. Then, during operation, the system measures a present light level for the area. The system then adjusts the light output of the lighting system for the area based on a lighting control parameter (e.g an on set-point and an off set-point pair), the present light output of the lighting system, and the present light level for the area.

The present subject matter is directed to a lighting control system and method. Motion or occupancy sensors are used to determine when a lighting fixture and/or a nearby lighting fixture should be activated. A controller associated with each lighting fixture switches its lighting fixture on and triggers a communications circuit to generate and send a signal to nearby lighting fixtures when a user is detected. Each lighting fixture also has a signal receiver to receive signals from any nearby lighting fixtures that are configured to communicate with it via a communication circuit. The present subject matter allows for a significant amount of energy to be saved as remote areas away from an occupied area do not have to be illuminated. Meanwhile, the user is still provided with a comfortable level of lighting in and near the occupied area.

The lighting control console includes a display, an operation device and a controller. The display displays a lighting spatial image corresponding to the lighting space, and displays, in the lighting spatial image, virtual instruments corresponding to the respective lighting instruments so that positions of the virtual instruments in the lighting spatial image correspond to respective positions of the lighting instruments in the lighting space. The operation device has a three dimensional detection space associated with the lighting spatial image and/or the lighting space. The operation device detects a position of an operation object in the detection space and specifies a position in the lighting spatial image based on the detected position in the detection space. The controller identifies, when one of the virtual instruments in the lighting spatial image is specified by the operation object through the operation device, a lighting instrument associated with the specified virtual instrument.
