Is it possible in Openstudio to set the intensity of the artificial lights, depending of the daylight comfort and of the temperature?

In Open Studio I set the number and the intensity of the artificial lights in every thermal zone, and the schedules as well. I would like to know if it is possible to set a certain value of daylight comfort for a large office. The lights are internal gains, and I want to avoid overheating problems in summer caused by artificial lights, without loosing the daylight comfort. Something like in Summer is too hot and the daylight is good --> the artificial lights decrease their intensity, but they rest switched on (or switched off if the natural daylight reaches a certain value). So is it possible to vary automatically the intensity of artificial lights during the summer days when daylight is good and temperature is too high? Thank you
