Sensors are a great option to help lower energy consumption and save money, most sensors pay for themselves in one year. Occupancy or motion sensors are devices that turn lights and other equipment on or off in response to the presence (or absence) of people in a room or area. Some sensors also control lighting based on the amount of daylight available in their coverage area.

Occupancy sensors have been refined and enhanced to control lighting and HVAC in commercial and residential spaces.

Where there are utility rebates available, sensors can pay for themselves in less than one year, but most pay for themselves in two to three years without rebates. Units are available in wall mounted switch configuration for use in offices or other small areas and in ceiling- and wall-mounted configurations for large, open areas. There are also sensors specifically designed for bathrooms, stairwells and hallways.

Green Energy Installers, LLC also offers a sensor system for hotels this is known as the key card system. This energy control system was developed to control energy consumption in hotel, motel and time-share guest rooms. Energy is the second largest operating expense for hotels. The opportunity to substantially reduce these costs exists when the guests leave their room without turning down the heat / AC or turning off the lights, TV, etc. Green Energy Installers, LLC provides an innovative approach to reducing these costs by the use of its wireless micro chip based radio frequency (RF) control system. This controls the HVAC, switches and plugs. The Keycard System is used in conjunction with the standard guest room keycard.


"KEY CARD SYSTEM"...HOW IT WORKS


GUEST ENTERS


When the Guest enters their room they insert and leave their room keycard in the illuminated Master Entry Wall Control Switch. This causes a wireless RF signal to be sent to all of the other component parts putting them into the occupied mode the guest now has normal control over the rooms lighting and air-conditioning systems. The A/C is limited to the in room set points selected by management. The A/C will run immediately and selected lights can be automatically turned on when the guest enters the room.

GUEST LEAVES

When the Guest leaves their room they extract their room keycard from the Master Entry Wall Control Switch. This causes another wireless RF signal to be sent to all of the component parts putting them into the unoccupied mode. Controlled lighting loads are turned off. The rooms air-conditioning is automatically set to the unoccupied mode allowing for more efficient operating temperature ranges.
