Occupant controls use sensors to determine when there are people in a given space. The lights turn on when motion or heat is detected in the space and they turn off based on a set amount of time in the absence of heat or motion.

O+M Tips

• Controls need to be commissioned on an ongoing basis to ensure proper function.
• Calibrate sensors according to manufacturer's recommendations.

End of Life Tips

• Usually reused by future occupants.

For alignment with LEED Standards

• Lighting Controls: Install occupancy sensors for 75% of the connected lighting load.
  • ID+C EA: Optimize Energy Performance
• Daylight Controls: Must switch or dim electric lights in response to daylight illumination in the space.
