CI-2009 EAc1.2:Optimize Energy Performance—Lighting Controls

Occupancy Sensors may be replaced

Hi to everyone, Is it possible to replace occupancy sensors by timers to be set for occupied hours, I don´t think so, but I would like to know what you think, thank you

I believe that your instinct is correct here. The goal is to reduce energy use by linking the lighting to occupancy. Timers are unlikely to be nearly as efficient - particularly in private offices and meeting rooms, although occupancy patterns in open office areas are increasingly variable for a wide variety of occupiers. If you believe you can make a strong case and you are relying on the points then you could submit a CIR, but I wouldn't get my hopes up on this.

Thank you Michael, I thing we will review the lighting control design, Installing occupancy sensors makes sence in every way,
