PerkinElmer Optoelectronics sensors enable many motion-controlled energy conservation applications including air conditioning, dawn-to-dusk lighting, proximity/security lighting, printer/copiers, microwave ovens, and automotive climate control. The company says its products are actively contributing to reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and energy savings on a global scale.

According to a recent independent report conducted by ERA Technology, the use of PerkinElmer sensors is helping to reduce CO2 emissions by 22 million metric tons per year. That is approximately the quantity of CO2 released by two medium-size coal-fired power stations in Europe. Use of PerkinElmer's sensors will be contributing to energy savings of over 35,000 GW-hours in 2008 alone.

"In 2008, our presence at electronica 2008 is an opportunity to showcase our products in action, effectively demonstrating how our solutions help conserve energy, contribute to a better environment, enhance personal comfort and well-being, and make people safer and more secure," said John Roush, president, PerkinElmer Optoelectronics. "It is particularly gratifying to be able to demonstrate how our core technology expertise in silicon and infrared detection, specialty lighting solutions such as our eco-friendly LEDs, and digital X-ray detection for medical and industrial imaging are creating better outcomes for our global customers and partners.".
