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:
Energy Conservation Program
• Lighting – In 1990 most lighting on campus was either incandescent or low efficiency fluorescent with magnetic ballasts. Today over 99% of the exterior lighting and over 90% of the interior lighting on campus has been converted to high efficiency lighting. Incandescent exit signs have been replaced with LED, reducing energy consumption by 80 – 90%. Daylight harvesting has also been used to automatically turn off interior lights in areas that receive sunlight.
• Motion Sensors – Motion sensors have been installed in thousands of classrooms, offices, conference rooms, and laboratories to turn off lights and set-back thermostats when spaces are unoccupied.
