OBJECTIVE
IMPACT
LowReducing electricity consumption by reducing unnecessary street lighting.
Description
Street light sensors can be appropriate for some areas and lower electricity consumption by reducing lighting. Additional benefits include preserving dark skies for amenity and ecological benefit.
A feasibility study to include sensor technology for streetlights in new developments needs to be studied to understand whether this avenue of emissions reduction should be pursued.
