Abstract
There is described a building automation system for controlling illumination uniformly based on ambient light. Light sensors are distributed within an environment and detect ambient light levels of the environment. An energy manager receives the ambient light levels from the light sensors and determines a group light level based on the ambient light levels. Light sources are distributed within the environment and provide illumination uniformly based on the group light level.
