Occupancy Sensors
• Best suited to spaces that have highly variable and unpredictable occupancy patterns
• Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR) and Ultrasonic Technology
• Used in: classrooms, computer labs, office rooms

Why should we install them?
•Cut peak hour lighting usage by an average of 33%
•Conserve more than 90% of lighting energy used after 6 PM
•Save on average 48% of a buildings light energy

Visual Resource-Consumption Meters
Why do we want visual meters?
• Compare energy consumption per floor
• Encourage friendly competition between floors
• Reduces electricity usage 3%-15% a year
• Results in lower power bills

More Meaningful Translations of
Recycling Output:• Recycling 1 ton of paper saves:
– 6,953 gallons of water• Recycling 1 ton of plastic bottles saves:
– 318 gallons of gasoline (18 trips to the pump)• Recycling 6-pack aluminum cans saves:
– Enough energy to drive your car for 5 miles
