OBJECTIVE
IMPACT
LowLighting usually accounts for up to 15% of energy and motion sensors can result in up to 75% improvement in energy efficiency.
Description
Using motion sensors to reduce use of light in unoccupied zones can reduce energy consumption and associated emissions.
- Use facility assessments to identify low activity areas in buildings and assess the use of occupancy sensors.
- Align with facility assessments and target highest energy consuming buildings first.
- For cost efficiency, consider installing motion sensors with any lighting and/or wiring upgrades.
Tasks
What's left to do?
- 31/05/2024
Integrate motion sensors into new builds
- 30/06/2024
Gather information around existing motion sensor installations.
- 31/08/2024
Identify buildings/facilities likely to benefit from motion sensors.
Target high energy consuming buildings and facilities that are likely to have areas that are periodically unoccupied and for which always-on-lighting is not a safety concern.
