This case study summarizes the GLASE research team findings from a field demonstration of the Light and Shade System Implementation (LASSI) lighting control algorithm at an Erie County, New York greenhouse for a 12-month period in 2024 and 2025.
With a lighting system capacity of 30 µmol/m2/s and greatly reduced hours of lighting availability, the daily light integrals were essentially dominated by the natural light. In contrast to a lighting system based on a timeclock, the ability of LASSI to predict the natural DLI’s for the day, avoids over-lighting when the DLI was met.
