Occupancy Sensors
October 15, 2007
Occupancy sensors detect the presence or absence of people and turn lights on and off accordingly. Used properly, occupancy sensors can be a cost-effective tool for reducing the operating time and/or light output of lighting systems, cutting energy consumption and peak demand.

Lighting Controls: Is Wireless the New Wave?
September 1, 2005
Commercial space in the U.S. covers 60 billion square feet with 1 billion light fixtures—most of which aren't equipped with automated lighting controls. It would be expensive to rewire those spaces for sophisticated lighting controls, but wireless systems could provide an effective solution.

Power Strips Get Smart
July 1, 1998
The modern office is full of energy-using equipment—computers, printers, copiers, task lights, fans, and other devices—and much of it is left on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Because of this, energy bills are higher than necessary, and equipment life may be shorter as well.

New Electronic Timers Simplify Lighting Control
June 1, 1995
Two new families of electronic switches are entering the lighting control market. These switches offer a simple, low-cost way to shut off lights in unoccupied areas. Unlike earlier electronic timer models, they are designed to handle intense inrush current from electronic ballasts.

Occupancy Sensors: Promise and Pitfalls
August 1, 1993
Occupancy sensors react to variables like heat and/or sound by turning lights on or off. While they have the potential to reduce lighting energy consumption by 50 percent or more in some installations, their savings and applicability are very site specific.
