Advanced Occupancy Sensors Slash Energy Bills, Keep Everyone Happy

Although the potential savings for the 408 million square meters of large commercial office space in the United States could be staggering, there are some significant challenges. Most importantly, today's advanced sensors don’t have the control algorithms or interoperability with building control systems needed to dynamically adjust the HVAC system, according to the study authors. In some regions, building codes might have to be adjusted to allow for no ventilation if no one is present. Even with those hurdles, the researchers say the benefit is worth the investment.
