INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study Modern technology nowadays changes in the society and established itself as one of the significant industries of today, influencing almost every sector of every community. Indeed, it greatly influences the lifestyle of every individual and made life easier and convenient. The advance of the technologies is indispensable in this world today. It contributes to the development of man’s vision in seeing life easily.
Automation device is in demand anywhere in this world. Most existed several years ago. They started in a simple device and later on they improved if using electricity for automation purposes like the M. Miller Gorrie Center (Gorrie Center) at Auburn University houses the School of Building Science. The building facilities include classrooms, faculty offices and conference rooms. When constructed in 2006 it received a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification and is in its fourth year of operation. Lighting associated controls may contribute to obtaining up to 40 points in LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations credit categories. Minimum LEED certification requires 40 points (Lutron, 2010).
Many states have now adopted energy codes. Many of these codes require compliance with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1 Lighting and HVAC Provisions. Under this standard, a point system is used and each type of lighting control system is awarded a certain number of points (Watt stopper, 2010a).
According to data compiled by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), electricity expenditures account for 72% of energy costs in educational buildings
