2. What Is It?
An electronic device that emits and/or detects infrared
radiation in order to sense some aspect of its
surroundings. Infrared sensors can measure the heat of
an object, as well as detect motion.
Infrared waves are not visible to the human eye. In the
electromagnetic spectrum, infrared radiation can be
found between the visible and microwave regions.
3. How It Works:
Infrared sensors are classified into two types:
Thermal Infrared Sensors – use infrared energy as heat. Photo
sensitivity is independent of wavelength being detected. Do not
require cooling and have slow response, as well as low detection
capabilities.
Quantum Infrared Sensors – provide higher detection
performance and faster response speed. Photo sensitivity is
dependent on wavelength. Must be cooled to obtain accurate
measurements.
4. Easy or Complicated?
Sensors are fairly complicated because there are
multiple variables that affect the input and output, as
well as the accuracy of their measured results.
5. What Is It?
Faucets used in public and commercial restrooms
that are used to reduce water wastage by measuring
the amount of water required for a particular
purpose.
6. How It Works:
Aerators – add air into the water stream to increase the
sensation of flow
Laminar Flow Devices – force water through small
openings to produces dozens of parallel water streams,
creating more uniform flow
Flow Regulators – Controls flow through means other
than aerating the water stream or creating laminar flow
7. Easy or Complicated?
An easy way to save money on water and energy
costs!
Professional installation recommended to ease
installation process. Video tutorials are available
online to assist with installation.
8. What Is It and How It Works:
Dishwashers that employ advanced technology by
using less water and energy to use efficiently
Reuse and recirculate water to clean dishes
Did you know that the average dishwasher built
before 1994 used more than 10 gallons per cycle!
High efficiency dishwasher can save up to 1600
gallons of water a year.
9. Easy or Complicated?
Much like any appliance, they can be easily installed with
proper instructions, but many can be professionally installed
upon delivery into your home.
Using energy efficient models also help save the environment.
Less electricity is used to maintain, which emits less
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The result is reduction
in air pollution, combats global climate change, and protects
natural water sources (such as lakes, streams and oceans).
