Replace lights in all government buildings with motion sensor activated lights

Why Is This Idea Important?: Reduce electric use in government buildings. It would also notify security when someone was where they weren't supposed to be.

These could be set to turn the lights off if there is no activity in a room or corridor for 30 minutes. If an alarm sounded (maybe a low key bell) just before the lights turned off it would warn people that they should wave or something if they wanted to keep the lights on. A timer on the switch panel would be adjustable up to an hour.

  1. This web sight DESPERATELY needs restructuring or replacement. I've seen better idea collection systems in elementary schools.

    I have voted for your idea, and wish we could cluster it into Energy, sub-set government purchasing.

    Your idea could join with govenrment going all natural gas, the phenomenal U.S. Army concept of "eating the tail" in which fuel convoys are made non-necessary by using renewable power for remote outposts, and so on.

    IF the larger public discovers this website, something the Administration appears to be hoping will not happen, this system will both crash and become so bogged down in minutia as to be relatively useless.

    I do not quite understand what Robert is talking about ... 'IF the larger public discovers this website, something the Administration appears to be hoping will not happen, this system will both crash and become so bogged down in minutia as to be relatively useless.'

    I have been letting everyone I know about this site, so as for Administration not wanting it to happen...sorry. Also why would the site crash because of multiple votes? Yes it will have a lot of suggestions, which maybe a posted idea about how to handle that could be put on this site? When We the People all speak up and out...Government will have no choice but to listen and act accordingly! The more votes and ideas we get on here the more they will realize that things need to change.

    Spread the word to everyone about this site, and to the Administration make a site that deals with issues other than Transparency so that We the People can be heard. I am sick of making useless phone calls and letters and emails that are destroyed or ignored! Listen up we can all solve things together...not apart!

  4. China already uses motion sensor activated lights to conserve energy. Sounds reasonable to me.
