For those of us who work in the lighting solution and electrical supply industries, the concept of occupancy lighting sensors is not new. The technology, which can detect when a room is occupied or vacant, then adjust the lighting accordingly, has been around for many years.
Considering that it’s a relatively simple technology, and the fact that it provides a tremendous cost savings has been documented extensively, I am often shocked when I hear my clients and friends tell me that it’s not in use at their workplace.
Installation and upfront costs are not significant, and study after study shows that businesses using occupancy lighting sensors realize up to a 50 percent savings on the amount of energy they consume each year.
Whether it’s a small office, industrial setting or commercial environment, there are a variety of applications designed to help business owners create a more robust and healthy bottom line. As with many other things in life, it’s good to approach the decision-making process from a position of knowledge instead of uncertainty. With that in mind, here is a quick discussion about the different types of occupancy sensors available today.
