No infra red motion detectors used for occupancy sensors to save money on the electric light bills? ""

Quite a few have been tried, then abandoned. Seems that the biggest problem with them was whenever somebody remained at their computer long enough, the lights would shutoff on their own. And some just failed in service.

Now, we just turn them off when we walk outside the office.

sm: ""
No automatic after hours shutoff of lighting? How did your facilities manage to escape the local energy saver gestapo? ""

Again, we just shut them off.

Alas, our lighting bill is not really that significant w/r to the other loads here. Just putting a 15 Mw power supply on standby far exceeds the light useage here.

We do shut much off when the summer peaks require it, it's a contractual arrangement with the local utility.

Cheers, John.

ps...yes, putting implants in physicists would be easier, but..oh well.
