Technical information

Occupancy sensors help building owners
achieve energy savings and energy code
compliance with sensors that are easy to
select, install and commission. Employing
passive infrared (PIR), ultrasonic and dual
technology to accurately detect occupancy
and control lighting loads, occupancy sensors
automatically shut-off lighting in unoccupied
areas – eliminating waste, reducing energy
costs and meeting code requirements.
Schneider Electric innovations help building
owners not only comply with energy codes, but
they also maximize energy savings.
