| Abstract |
Today, many countries are making efforts to advance eco-friendly technologies and new energy enterprises. Our government has also shown much interest in policies related to eco-friendliness, green growth, energy conservation, and CO2 reduction. Recently, more attention has been given to LED lighting, with low-carbon, green energy in mind, and there has been a trend in dimming control systems for energy conservation. The purpose of this research is to examine the changes and longevity of automatic lighting control systems in apartment underground garages through an investigation of regulations and documentation related to garage lighting systems. As well, through the investigation of underground garage lighting environments in 8 apartment houses, it will provide basic data regarding luminance levels and uniformity. The results of this study are as follows. 1) Currently, the government approach to reducing lighting energy is through laws and policies which require a changeover to automatic lighting control systems in apartment underground garages. These are expected to continually increase. 2) It is necessary to secure a standard for items such as measurement of lighting, luminance level, methods of control on applying automatic lighting control system. As well, work is needed to standardize a minimum luminance level and level of uniformity. 3) Currently, there is a need to improve the standard of illuminance. For example, there needs to be regulations set for the uniformity of lighting in all driving aisles, parking areas, entries & exits, as well as pedestrian access areas. Besides these, there must be separate daytime and nighttime lighting standards for vehicle exits and entrances. |
