Wireless Sensors Help Increase Control, Decrease Consumption
A recent GPG study found a 48% reduction in cooling load and a 17% reduction in power usage. LBNL researchers project that if wireless sensor technology were adopted by tenant agencies and applied across the entire GSA portfolio, it would save the American taxpayer $61 million annually and reduce carbon emissions by 532,000 metric tons.
