[BLDG-SIM] Occupancy Sensors

["stobin" <stobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone tried to model occupancy sensors for the lighting system in E-Quest?

 

I have a rather large building (135,000 sq ft) inwhich 30% or so is opperated 24/7 and the rest is a typical office building.  We are including occupancy sensors in each room but we are unsure how to quantify the savings those sensors may provide.  The only way I understand to show savings is to reduce the lighting schedules, but I do not know how much.  I am finding that lighting is approximately 30% to 35% of total building energy consumption and savings here could mean a decent cost savings.  Has any one had any experiance with this?  I would appreciate any help you can give me.

 

Thanks
