A method and system for determining user preference in light management of an area is disclosed. The method comprises the sets of collecting data regarding artificial and natural light within the area, collecting data regarding weather conditions and collating the collected data with regard to temporal and geographical information associated with the space. The collected data is processed using stochastic processes to estimate the user's preferences at a specific time. Artificial lighting (130) and natural lighting are adjusted based on the estimated user preferences. User inputs may be provided to indicate the user's satisfaction and/or dissatisfaction with the estimate. User preference setting are updated and maintained when the user is satisfied with the results.
