Internet of things is providing us numerous ways to improve our quality of experience by using smart cyber-physical infrastructure systems. Also, due to arrival of LED lighting systems, there is the possibility to improve user’s visual comfort at less cost. In our proposed model, by using a fuzzy inference system, used in cyber-physical infrastructure system, we save energy from the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. This saved energy is used to improve the visual comfort of the user. Simulation results show that considering the visual comfort standard of 500 lux instead of 250 lux results in energy savings and ensures visual comfort. Together with the preservation of thermal comfort increases the overall users’ comfort. Since research confirms that users’ improved comfort results in up to 14% of increased productivity. Our model is unique in the sense that using fuzzy logic, indirectly improved the users’ productivity. By using our fuzzy logic controller on electric equipment, we can achieve improved users’ performance without paying any extra cost.
