Lighting Controls Save Bread
To save energy the Panera Bread retail chain installed lighting control panels, occupancy sensors, and photocells in select stores. The Smartwired Lighting Control Panel allowed the stores to save energy on a flexible schedule. With push-button programming and preprogrammed control scenarios, store managers are able to use and change settings. Astronomic scheduling through the panel's clock predicts sunrise and sunset times and turns lights on and off accordingly. Occupancy sensors were installed to keep lights off during times of vacancy. WT-600 ultrasonic sensors control lights in restrooms, detecting motion through restroom stalls.
