Abstract A double inverted pendulum plant as an established model that is analyzed as part of this work was tested under the influence of time delay, where the controller was fine tuned using a firefly algorithm taking into considering the fitness function of variation of the cart position and to minimize the cart position displacement and still stabilize it effectively. The naturally inspired algorithm which imitates the fireflies definitely is an energy efficient method owing to the inherent logic of the way the fireflies respond collectively and has shown that critical time delays makes the system healthy.

The availability of adjustable lighting controls, with options other than “on” and “off,” have been associated with increased energy savings. In the present study, we describe the way customizable, networked lighting controls are actually used in a recently built research facility that received a formal designation for sustainable design (LEED Gold). In addition to usage patterns, we explored occupants’ knowledge of control operation as well as the expectancies of nonoccupants. We also identified a variety of features that, if redesigned in accordance with HF/E principles, might lead to reduced lighting usage.
