SWOT Analysis - Arduino Light Sensor Feed

This feed displays light input data ranging from 0 to 1023, as collected by a light dependent resistor within an Adruino scheme. A high value currently represents low light intensity, and a low value represents high intensity. These values are translated into an angle value from 0 to 90 degrees which informs the rotation of one or more servos. These servos power circular shutters which block circular openings in a facade system during periods of high daylight intensity, and unblock the openings during periods of low intensity. In this way, the facade is able to maintain soft natural internal lighting at all times.

Strengths:
Clever servos mechanisms allow a drastic improvement in energy management of lighting. These servos are circilar shutters which "block circular openings in a facade system during periods of high daylight intensity, and unblock the openings during periods of low intensity." This prevents any excessive use of energy intended for lighting as natural light is being used in the daytime.

Weaknesses: 
These functions may be void depending on the season and weather, e.g. Rainy weather would require the rotary mechanisms to unblock and eventually be relying on artificial lighting anyway. Therefore this would be unreliable and a fragile system at certain times.


Opportunities:
This system has portental for saving a significant amount of energy in terms of heating, lighting etc. Therefore this could be implemented in a much larger scale, and more publicly used buildings.

Threats:
Possible threats would include a lack of emergency backup in case of system failure shutdown. While the system is extremely innovative, in chance of system failure these rotary systems and all its benefits would be rendered useless and void.
