Role of Occupancy Sensors in Reducing Energy Usage in Public Buildings
Occupancy sensors are becoming increasingly popular in public buildings as a means of reducing energy usage and improving energy efficiency. These sensors work by detecting the presence of people in a room and adjusting the lighting accordingly. This helps to reduce energy consumption, as lights are only turned on when needed, and turned off when the room is empty. In India, the Delhi International Airport is a great example of how occupancy sensors have been used to reduce energy usage in a public building.

The sensors are connected to the lighting system , and when a person enters the room, the lights turn on automatically. When the room is empty, the lights turn off.
