Occupancy sensors play a significant role in minimizing the consumption of energy in buildings. They shut off devices, lights, and other equipment when not in use. These sensors play a big role in reducing light pollution and can be used in offices, conference rooms, restrooms, and many other spaces. A combination of occupancy sensors and scheduling devices do the job of saving energy quite efficiently. Choosing the right sensor technology is critical to designing and operating a trouble-free application. Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global occupancy sensor market to grow at a CAGR of approximately 12% over the forecast period.
The demand for energy is on the rise and power companies are struggling to meet consumer demand. Conserving power and turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use is a good way to reduce carbon emissions. Automation and using smart sensors is helping companies and individuals save a lot of money on their energy bills and also extend the life of their machinery and equipment. Automation is becoming quite a common feature in daily life as well with offices and homes using smart sensor technology.
Occupancy sensors use a few different technologies to detect whether a person or people are in a room with the help of passive infrared or ultrasonic sensors. Regardless of the type of sensor, lights get turned on when a person enters a room. PIR sensors detect body heat within a specific field and activate lighting. These are very effective in small spaces. The extensive use of PIR sensors for lighting and security applications in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors will lead to its steady growth during the predicted period. PIR sensors will dominate the market by usage and account for a share of around 77% by 2020.
The Americas is the largest market for occupancy sensors in every sector whether it is industrial, commercial, or residential. A significant trend driving the residential market is the IoT, which is changing the way homes are powered. Smart homes use a lot of automatic devices for lighting, appliances, and alarm systems.
