ABSTRACT
In this paper we present preliminary results from a demonstration of the OccuSwitch wireless system deployed at Ft. Irwin, CA. Preliminary post-retrofit Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and Lighting Power Density (LPD) are compared with a pre-retrofit metered baseline (MB), an adjusted metered baseline (AMB) derived to account for changes in lamp distribution, and a code baseline (CB) representing a relatively old lighting system with 10 operating hours per workday. Early results (based on 3 months of post-retrofit data) indicate a 4% savings in EUI over the MB, 22% savings over the AMB, and 62% savings over the CB.
