Another innovative
way to save energy consumed by lighting is
by automatically switching them off when illumination is not required. The
Company offers turnkey design and installations of automatic switching
systems from a leading US based company that offers a vast variety of
infrared and ultrasonic (combined) sensor based switches. It is estimated
that up to 30% of energy consumed by lighting could be saved just by using
such automatic switching systems.
Thirty-three percent
of all electricity consumed by commercial buildings is used for lighting.
According to Building Design & Construction
(USA), however, only 1.2% of the nearly 5 million commercial buildings in
the United States currently have automatic lighting installed. The
statistics is even smaller in India. Lighting has the potential for
businesses and the government to reduce energy waste because it is an easy
and inexpensive problem to fix, with a quick return on investment.

Occupancy Sensors
Cut the Light Bill--By
Half
For Press Release, press here.
A light that is off
saves 100%. Stop the spinning meter. Occupancy sensors average 60% savings in
some areas. Install them in restrooms to start, or do an entire facility and
see the savings multiply.

| How
Sensors Sense Occupancy
Sensors use either
passive infrared, ultrasonic, or a combination of the two technologies
to detect occupancy.
- Infrared
sensing relies on moving body heat. To be seen, the person must
move between the "vanes" created by the sensor's lens.
- Ultrasonic
sensors fill the room with high-frequency sound. Movement causes
the reflected sound to have a frequency shift.
Dual
Technology--The Most Advanced Sensor Available
Our microprocessor-based sensors
install quickly and work reliably. Install and forget: no readjusting.
Lights are on when they should be, off when the room is empty.
|
- Upon room entry, sensor is in "high
confidence mode." Infrared/ultrasonic composite must be above
a specific threshold to turn the lights on.
Once occupied, sensor enters "high
sensitivity mode." The threshold automatically lowers; the
slightest movement will keep the lights on.
When unoccupied, lights stay off while the HVAC system cycles on and off,
and cleaning crews occupy corridors.
