Lighting

Restrooms and Closets

The easiest way to achieve energy and cost savings in restrooms and storage areas is to install CFLs with occupancy sensors. Occupancy sensors ensure that energy is not wasted lighting an empty room and make it easy for people to move into and out of low-occupancy areas. Using an occupancy sensor rather than a manual switch saves up to 60 percent of the energy needed to light bathrooms and closets.
