Abstract
A controller for an energy management system that controls the amount of light allowed into an area is provided. The system comprises a louver assembly and a light sensor contained within a light well. The light sensor is in communication with a controller that manages the position of the louvers in the system and controls the amount of light allowed through the system. The system further comprises thermal sensors in communication with the controller, which allow for management of the louvers' position to maximize energy efficiency.
