Sensors that remember to adjust or turn off the lights.
There’s no need to rely on your employees to turn off the lights when leaving occasionally used spaces or at the end of the workday. Lighting controls do it automatically—saving your business money and energy. Occupancy sensors save energy by turning off lighting in rooms like break rooms, storage areas, and walk-in coolers. Daylight sensors automatically adjust your lighting as the availability of daylight changes throughout the day. Controls can be hard-wired or wireless, making installation easy for both new construction and retrofit projects.
As businesses move to exterior LED lighting, controls can automatically limit light when not needed and maximize energy savings. For example, parking lot lights can use occupancy sensors to turn off or dim to 50% when no movement is detected. Not only does this practice save energy, but it also reduces the amount of nighttime light pollution.
Efficiency Vermont provides standard rebates to Vermont businesses for installing remote or fixture-mounted occupancy sensors and daylight sensors. Custom rebates and technical assistance may be available for control equipment not on our rebate form.
