Energy Services and Building Controls have successfully completed the installation of occupancy sensors in large rooms across several key campus buildings, marking another step forward in UCLA’s commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability.

The project, a joint effort between the two departments, targeted high-usage spaces in buildings including P&A, SAC, Campbell, Perloff, YRL, Kaufman, Powell, Geffen Hall, Hershey Hall, and La Kretz. DDC shop personnel, in coordination with Energy Services engineers, led the installation process, ensuring that each sensor was strategically placed to optimize energy savings by automatically adjusting HVAC systems based on room occupancy.

These savings not only reduce operational costs but also contribute to UCLA’s broader sustainability goals by minimizing unnecessary energy consumption.

This initiative reflects the university’s ongoing efforts to integrate smart technologies into campus infrastructure and demonstrates how cross-departmental collaboration can deliver impactful results for both the environment and the UCLA community.
