Sensors

MTSU Facilities Services utilizes several sensors to monitor and optimize environmental conditions on campus. Below are some examples of the sensors used and their purposes:

  1. Temperature Sensors
    Purpose: Used to monitor ambient and surface temperatures in buildings, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency by managing HVAC systems.
  2. Humidity Sensors
    Purpose: Measure indoor air humidity levels to maintain air quality and prevent issues such as mold growth or equipment damage.
  3. Light Sensors
    Purpose: Regulate artificial lighting based on natural light availability, contributing to energy savings.
  4. CO2 Sensors
    Purpose: Track indoor air quality by measuring carbon dioxide levels, signaling when ventilation adjustments are needed.
  5. Energy Meters
    Purpose: Monitor the consumption of electricity, water, steam, and chilled water, which helps in optimizing usage and reducing waste.
  6. Motion Detectors
    Purpose: Detect occupancy to control lighting and HVAC systems, reducing energy use in unoccupied spaces.
  7. Airflow Sensors
    Purpose: Ensure proper ventilation by monitoring air movement, critical in both classroom and lab environments.

These devices support MTSU’s commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental stewardship, aligning with programs like the Center for Energy Efficiency and Energy Services initiatives.
