Upon inspection, it was found that the company warehouse Eco-Solution 1: Implementing Motion Sensors
operates with 13 fluorescent and 32 LED lights that remain to Reduce Annual Carbon Emissions
perpetually illuminated. The associated annual power

Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) Lighting System:
The ESI team proposed integrating a Passive Infrared (PIR)
lighting system to reduce power consumption (Figure
2). PIR sensors are utilised in lighting control systems
to autonomously activate or deactivate lights based on
detecting human presence or motion. When the PIR sensor
identifies human activity within its range, it prompts the
lights to illuminate, offering both convenience and energy

within the warehouse will automatically deactivate in the
absence of motion or human presence after a designated
period, reducing unnecessary energy consumption and
lowering carbon emissions.
