Intelligent Wireless Lighting Control using Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks: A Survey

Minimizing energy usage and increasing occupant comfort are the two primary objectives of in- telligent and eco-friendly buildings. Energy savings of up to 70%, combined with significant occupant pro- ductivity gains are possible via the application of wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSAN). Despite the increasing interests in WSAN-based wireless intelligent lighting control, no prior survey work exists. In the paper, we aim to provide a holistic survey of various WSAN-based schemes for intelligent lighting control so that researchers interested in the field can gain up to date knowledge and inspiration for future research. Spe- cifically, an overview of various sensor data collection and management techniques relevant to lighting con- trol is provided; taxonomy of various intelligent decision making schemes for lighting control is detailed; moreover, open issues within this field are identified and future research directions are proposed.
