Lighting Renovation: More Than a Remake
Schools represent an aging building population that requires modernization to keep up with today’s new learning environments. A recent California Energy Commission study shows that lighting accounts for 37% of the utility costs in an average commercial building. In a school environment, inefficient lighting is a waste of scarce resources.

And, outdated lighting can hinder new teaching scenarios, like audio-visual and student presentations.

Your lighting system upgrade should provide no less-desired result, than those of new construction. With our new line of renovation products, you can remodel your space more easily, often without needing a complete fixture replacement. The latest technologies encompass volumetric lighting, high-efficiency fixtures, direct and indirect lighting fixtures, dimming ballasts, and energy-saving lamps in conjunction with occupancy sensors and control systems.

Stimulus funding and Qualified School Construction Bond programs offer unique opportunities for lighting and control upgrades.
