AB - The manufacturing, distribution and use of electricity are of fundamental  importance for the social life and they have the biggest influence on the  environment associated with any human activity. The energy needed for  building lighting makes up 20-40% of the total consumption. This paper  displays the development of the mathematical model and genetic algorithm for  the control of dimmable lighting on problems of regulating the level of  internal lighting and increase of energetic efficiency using daylight. A  series of experiments using the optimization algorithm on the realized model  confirmed very high savings in electricity consumption.
