Vacancy Sensor in Beaumont, Tyler, Onalaska, & Nederland
Vacancy sensors can be an efficient way to save energy, reduce light trespass, increase security, and decrease repairs for your business or commercial property. Vacancy sensors assume that a user will turn the lights on manually, typically via a wall switch. The vacancy sensor will then monitor the space to turn lights off if the space is then vacant for a specified length of time.
Advanced Systems Alarm Services (ASAS) provides the best available vacancy sensors to customers in Beaumont, Tyler, Port Arthur, Port Neches, Nederland, and other Texas cities within our service area.
Occupancy vs. Vacancy Sensors
The use of occupancy sensors in a day-lit space can mean that lights come on when they are not needed. In these conditions, a change of the control sequence can shift the operation from an occupancy sensor to a much more useful vacancy sensor. Vacancy sensors assume that a user will turn the lights on manually, typically via a wall switch. The vacancy sensor will then monitor the space to turn lights off if the space is then vacant for a specified length of time.
Sensor operation in a vacancy sensor scenario is much less obtrusive than an occupancy sensor. The only time users should notice that there is sensor control is when they come back to space to find the lights turned off automatically.
Using the standard “automatic-on” occupancy sensors within most spaces that have no natural light makes sense because the lights should always be needed when someone enters, as there is no other light source in the space. But for spaces with daylight, the “automatic-off” of vacancy sensors is typically preferable.
Sensor Usage Recommendations by ASAS in Port Arthur & Port Neches
The goals of integrating appropriate lighting controls into any design are to improve comfort and usability for occupants and to decrease lighting energy use. When properly understood and applied, occupancy and vacancy sensors can do both. To sum up the basics:
- Seek dual technology sensors whenever the budget allows.
- Dual-technology occupancy sensors are recommended in most interior spaces with no available daylight.
- Dual-technology vacancy sensors are recommended in most perimeter spaces with available daylight.
