Does the institution use motion, infrared, and/or light sensors to reduce energy use for lighting in at least one building?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the technology used:
These lighting system upgrades also include the installation of controls like motion and occupancy sensors, which turn off the light when they stop detecting movement; and daylight sensors, which maximize use of sunlight by turning on the lights only when natural light is insufficient for people to see inside the area. The combination of these efficient lighting systems and sensors could reduce the lighting electricity demand by up to 59% in some buildings
Eighty buildings have been relamped and retrocommissioned, and these projects include adding motion sensors. This figure was added to the number of buildings last year that were estimated to already have lighting motion sensors installed.
None
The percentage of building space with lighting sensors:
30
