Turning Off The Lights in Brussels

In January 2009, the building Energy Saving Project was completed, having reached its energy and money saving targets. All floors are now divided into zones, which are lit between 6.15 am and 7 pm. During nights and weekends, lights are turned off. Each zone has a light switch, in the event that someone has to work at hours when the lights are turned off. Pressing the button will light the zone for 6 hours and when leaving, a reset button can be used to turn off the lights. As of 2008, IT has also implemented Wake on LAN or WOL for all OpenNet work stations, implying energy saving computer shutdowns between 8 pm and 7 am.
