Energy Conservation at the Forefront
Hubbell Occupancy Sensors Play a Key Role
In the U.S., lighting consumes 22% of electricity and represents
$40 billion a year in energy costs. Using advanced technology,
Hubbell’s H-MOSS® Occupancy Sensors are doing their part
to save energy and provide sustainability by automatically and
effectively turning lights on when a room is occupied and off
when a room is vacant. In a typical office building, where lighting
accounts for 35 to 45% of energy use, H-MOSS Occupancy
Sensors have the potential to reduce wasted lighting by 13 to 90%
for a significant return on investment (ROI).
Hubbell offers a broad range of occupancy and vacancy
sensors and lighting controls that meet the latest codes and
standards, including ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 and CEC’s Title 24.
H-MOSS Occupancy Sensors can also provide LEED® points in
categories like Sustainable Sites, Energy and Atmosphere, Indoor
Environmental Quality and Innovative Design Process.

A significant energy conservation movement has been established across the globe in the form
of local, state and national programs, standards and codes that call for energy efficiency in both
commercial and residential buildings. These codes and standards include:
• LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification in new and renovated
facilities through the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) promotes sustainable building design.
• California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Title 24 program enforces stringent standards and
regulations to reduce energy consumption, including automatic lighting control and shut-off.
• ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 energy efficiency code requires interior lighting in buildings larger than 5000
sq. ft. to be controlled with automatic devices.
• IECC® (International Energy Conservation Code) compliance requires automatic shut-off of
lighting which is now adopted by most states in some form.
As energy concerns increase, the “greening” of commercial and residential buildings will continue
through more stringent standards and additional energy conservation initiatives like the EPA’s ENERGY
STAR program and the 2030 Challenge that aims to reduce energy use by 50% by 2030.
