Does the institution use motion, infrared, and/or light sensors to reduce energy use for lighting in at least one building?:
Yes

A brief description of the technology used:

Bowdoin uses several types of lighting controls to reduce energy use.
Bowdoin uses occupancy sensors in places like restrooms, classrooms, and the library's stacks as part of a lighting control system which turns off lights in offices and classrooms when unoccupied.

Bowdoin uses day-lighting controls in many building spaces that have ample daylight (i.e. hallways and stairwells) by shutting lights off via a photo sensor when it is sunny outside, but turning them on at night and on cloudy/rainy days.
