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:

We use dual-technology sensors which utilize both infrared and ultrasonic detection technologies. Primarily, we install vacancy sensors which switch lights off when a space is unoccupied. There are some locations on campus that also utilize photocells that reduce or switch off lighting in a space when sufficient daylighting is available.
