Optimize Natural Daylight
The problem
Bright Dubai sun is an asset, not a problem — daylight-harvesting requires motorised shading, tunable-white lighting and lux sensors so artificial lighting dims automatically when daylight is sufficient. Smart Citizens designs the entire loop.

Frequently asked
How much energy does daylight harvesting save?
Well-tuned daylight-linked dimming typically saves 20–40% of perimeter-zone lighting energy in Dubai offices, verified via DALI drive current metering.
Won't the shades be constantly moving?
No — hysteresis and time delays are tuned so shades reposition only on sustained sun/glare changes, not on passing clouds.
Does this affect Estidama Liveable Buildings credits?
Yes — daylight autonomy and glare control map directly to Estidama Liveable Buildings requirements; Smart Citizens provides the enabling technology and measurement, not the credit award itself.
