The significance of energy efficiency has grown with the increasing electricity consumption
worldwide in recent years. The share of energy consumption in architectural structures is
relatively high due to this increasing energy consumption. In this study, a smart building
lighting control model is developed to improve the energy efficiency of lighting and to find the
optimum status regarding lighting comfort and energy saving. The controllable lighting and

electrochromic glass with variable light transmittance were controlled with the developed
control algorithm to meet the lighting comfort requirements, and energy savings of up to 20%
were obtained. The results show that to have a successful lighting system, the artificial lighting
source should be controlled depending on the lighting level in the room. In addition, using
controllable lamps and electrochromic glass in regions and climates with higher solar radiation
intensity is crucial for sustainable energy and environmental goals.
