VendingMiser brand motion sensors are the units being used on campus. An average of 46% reduction in electricity consumption is expected by using this device. The unit employs a passive infrared sensor to power down the vending machine when the activity in the vicinity ceases for a period of time (determined by a learning pattern built into the sensor logic), then re-powering the machine when motion is detected.
None
