How Can I Improve Active Power or Sensor Delay Energy Efficiency?

Every zone has an active power level setting and a sensor delay setting. You can improve your facility's energy efficiency by identifying areas with low occupancy and then adjusting the active power / sensor delay rules for those zones.

1. Run a Heatmap Occupancy report (see Heatmap Reports ) to look for patterns showing low occupancy. For example, look for certain days of the week or hours of the day that have substantially lower occupancy levels.
2. Note any patterns of low occupancy.
3. Validate with facility operations that the patterns in fact correspond to lower occupancy.
4. If improving active power efficiency: create a manual profile that reduces the active power level setting from 100 to 90.

5. If improving sensor delay efficiency: create a manual profile that reduces the sensor delay from 1 minute down to 30 seconds.

6. If improving active power efficiency: during facility downtime, activate the manual profile and evaluate the illumination level using a light meter.
7. If improving sensor delay efficiency: during facility downtime, activate the manual profile and evaluate the sensor delay setting.
8. Tune the manual profile until the active power level / sensor delay setting is desirable. Record the new setting.
9. Create and schedule a profile for the time periods identified in steps 1-3, and then apply the setting recorded in step 8.
