Office energy pilot
Original practice text
Zusätzliche Übung
A company is testing an energy-saving system on two floors of its main office. Motion sensors reduce lighting when rooms are empty, while employees can restore full lighting manually. The pilot will run for six months. Electricity use will be compared with the same six-month period of the previous year.
The company will also survey employees about comfort and concentration. The system will not control heating during the pilot. If the trial reduces electricity use by at least 12 per cent without a substantial fall in employee satisfaction, management will consider installing it in other buildings. No installation decision has yet been made.
