CO2 Reduction Projects

Sensors in work stations shut off lighting and peripherals if the occupant is away for more than 5 minutes.

Motion sensors are located throughout the building for overhead lighting. If the sensor does not sense movement for 3 to 5 minutes, the overhead lights will shut off, leaving only emergency lighting illuminated.

Building is set in an East/West orientation to maximize sunlight.

Electronic shades control light and heat with sensors.

Exterior light shades draw light into the workspace and provide shade from southern sun.
