Does the institution use motion, infrared, and/or light sensors to reduce energy use for lighting in at least one building?:
Yes

A brief description of the technology used:

We have installed lighting sensors in buildings which represent 34% of our total campus building space. Our focus has been in areas of intermittent use such as conference rooms and restrooms to turn off the lighting when sound and motion are not present. Our building design standards (page 51 of below URL) for both new and retrofit projects included the integration of lighting occupancy sensors into the project design and we continue to leverage this technology as part of our Energy Conservation Program which includes a Lighting Component.

Recently we were able to apply motion sensor in one of our Gymnasiums to sense occupancy on three basketball courts and turn the lights associated with any of the individual court off when not in use.
