Does the institution use motion, infrared, and/or light sensors to reduce energy use for lighting in at least one building?:
A brief description of the technology used:
Rice uses a number of different technologies to reduce energy use associated with lighting. Two examples of buildings with widely implemented sensors are Duncan and McMurtry Colleges. The technology consists of a two components. First, infrared occupancy sensors in student rooms turn off lights when the room is vacant. Additionally, hallway lights have timers programmed to turn off lights at certain hours. Several other buildings on campus also have motion detectors in public spaces, such as the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen and portions of Fondren Library.
