Description

Occupancy (aka, occupant) sensors monitor spaces to determine whether they are occupied or vacant, producing a control signal that can be used to automatically switch or dim lighting. By ensuring lighting operates only when it is needed, occupancy sensors produce energy cost savings in addition to benefits such as convenience and enhanced security. According to the Open Access journal Sensors, occupancy-based lighting controls can reduce lighting energy consumption in commercial buildings by up to 45% (Chaudhari et al., 2024).

Because these devices are relatively simple to install, cost-effective, and widely required by energy codes, occupancy sensing is a staple in new construction projects, renovations, and many lighting upgrades.

Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Specify occupancy sensors where needed to comply with energy codes and satisfy lighting upgrade projects with strong energy-savings goals.
  • Select appropriate sensing technology based on an application’s characteristics.
  • Select sensor features and settings to optimize performance for the application.
  • Apply occupancy sensors to spaces based on occupancy patterns, layout, and space utilization.

Certificate

By completing/passing this course, you will attain the certificate EE Lighting Controls Certificate (AIA, LEU, CALCTP, NLCAA, CEU)
