SM: ""I've thought about putting a chip in each of my dogs.""Why?? Can't they reach the light switch??
Cheers, John
Follow Ups:
They still have light switches where you work?
SM: ""They still have light switches where you work? ""Yah, the physicists refused the implants, and there weren't enough dogs around to turn the lights on for them..:-)
Go figure..
Cheers, John
No infra red motion detectors used for occupancy sensors to save money on the electric light bills? No automatic after hours shutoff of lighting? How did your facilities manage to escape the local energy saver gestapo?

Seems that the biggest problem with them was whenever somebody remained at their computer long enough, the lights would shutoff on their own. And some just failed in service.
Now, we just turn them off when we walk outside the office.

Alas, our lighting bill is not really that significant w/r to the other loads here. Just putting a 15 Mw power supply on standby far exceeds the light useage here.
We do shut much off when the summer peaks require it, it's a contractual arrangement with the local utility.
Cheers, John.
ps...yes, putting implants in physicists would be easier, but..oh well.
"Quite a few have been tried, then abandoned. Seems that the biggest problem with them was whenever somebody remained at their computer long enough, the lights would shutoff on their own"I only had that experience once. It seemed the occupant had died.....Just kidding.
"And some just failed in service."
That's what your company gets for buying those cheap Chinese made units. Next time try one which is UL listed :> )
"Alas, our lighting bill is not really that significant w/r to the other loads here"
That didn't seem to bother them where I worked. The facilities managers were determined to get credit for saving money on lighting no matter how much it cost. Hey, they had to find something to put down on their annual performance reviews to justify a raise. There was precious little else they had.
"We do shut much off when the summer peaks require it, it's a contractual arrangement with the local utility."
We had that option and for cutbacks on AC as well but we rejected it. We didn't think anyone from the outside should tell our scientists and engineers when it was time to sweat...or when to keep them in the dark either.
