   There are two types of active daylighting control systems: closed loop solar tracking, and open loop solar tracking systems. Closed loop systems track the sun by relying on a set of lens or sensors with a limited field of view, directed at the sun, and are fully illuminated by sunlight at all times. As the sun moves, it begins to shade one or ...
