Daylight harvesting utilizes natural daylight to reduce energy usage from electric lighting. It delivers daylight into buildings through windows, skylights, or light shelves and controls it using methods like occupancy sensors, photosensors, or dimming systems. Daylight harvesting systems interact with electric lighting so lights can be dimmed or turned off when sufficient daylight is present and turned on when daylight levels drop to supplement the interior lighting needs.
