Installing sensors

Talk to your EcoSmart Electrician or technical service provider to see if sensors can be cost-effectively added to your air conditioning set-up:

  • Some sensors or switches can automatically detect and turn off the air- conditioning when someone opens the doors or windows.

 

  • Step 9 - Occupancy SensorAn infrared occupancy sensor can turn off an air conditioner after it detects that nobody has been in the room for a set period of time. After going into energy-saving mode, it turns back on as soon as someone comes back into the room.
  • Temperature sensors can turn an air conditioner on and off depending on what temperatures you have programmed into the unit.
  • When you install CO2 sensors and motorised dampers, you can match the number of people in your premises with the amount of outside air entering the building.[1] This is useful when you get significant numbers of people coming in and out of your facilities.

 

All of these sensor solutions reduce running costs and can help to maximise the energy efficiency of your HVAC set-up.
