When it comes to energy efficiency, the easiest way to start maximizing savings is by adding a variety of control options.
In most residential applications, the best practice is to add dimmers or passive infrared sensors. You even have the option to have both in one location.
Tips:
- Having dimmers can save you 5% in electricity by just installing one. With dimmers, the more you dim the more you save!
- Having motion sensors helps as well by turning the lights off after chosen intervals.
- In commercial applications, the best way is adding motion sensors.
- In offices and commonly used spaces where line of sight isn’t an issue, passive infrared sensors will do the trick.
- In bathrooms, it is recommended to use a dual technology motion sensor. These sensors use the same infrared technology but they also use ultrasonic technology. These are best use to detect small motion, or motion where there isn’t a clear line of sight.
