Variation in daylight
correlation coefficient as blind angle is varied for a) summer direct lighting conditions,
b) summer 
diffuse lighting conditions, c)
winter direct lighting conditions, d) winter diffuse lighting conditions

The "gain" of a typical
closed-loopproportional systemvarieswiththespatial distributionof daylightin a space. This
critical parameter is set once upon the daylighting control system's installation then left to control the
lighting for all 
electric and daylighting conditions within the space over the entire year. Occupants will complain and even sabotage 
the system if the lights are too dim--a result of improper commissioning. We show above how this gain parameter 
varies with venetian blind angle and solar condition.
