Hotel
Test
Will Focus
On Lighting
in Bathrooms
Berkeley
Lab researchers are studying the savings of a new energy-efficient
lighting control system to be installed at a DoubleTree Hotel
in Sacramento, under an agreement signed by the Lab, the Sacramento
Municipal Utility District, DoubleTree Hotels, and The Watt
Stopper, Inc. The system was developed based on research performed
by Berkeley Lab scientists on improving hotel room energy
efficiency. The demonstration will "re-light" the
entire Sacramento facility, which has more than 400 rooms,
with a new control system for bathroom lighting. Full
story.
