1. A method for optimizing operation of one or more skylights of one or more distributed sites to facilitate daylight harvesting, the method comprising:

  • identifying, by a lighting control system, one or more skylight-linked lighting circuits from a plurality of lighting circuits by analyzing at least one of site configuration data, site instrumentation data, or ambient data;

    determining, by the lighting control system, interception points configured for each identified skylight-linked lighting circuit to switch from daylight utilization to electric consumption and to switch from electric consumption to daylight utilization, wherein the interception points are determined based on at least one of the site configuration data, the site instrumentation data, or the ambient data;

    deriving, by the lighting control system, an optimum logic for the operation of one or more skylight linked lighting circuits based on the interception points and current operating schedule of the skylight linked lighting circuits; and

    optimizing, by the lighting control system, the operation of the one or more skylights based on the optimum logic.
