Project Profile: An Innovative Lighting Upgrade Transforms a School Multi-Purpose Room
Lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the ambiance and functionality of any space, and a multi-purpose room is no exception. Whether it’s a community center, church, or school, a well-lit multi-purpose room can accommodate a variety of activities such as meetings, classes, performances, and more. However, outdated or inadequate lighting can hinder the space’s functionality and make it less appealing to its users.
The Problem/Need:
A local school was looking for an LED upgrade as their current lighting in the multi-purpose room was failing. The school recently received new workout equipment, so an updated lighting plan was needed to improve the light level and aesthetics in the space.
The Process:
To provide the best solution, the team of certified lighting experts performed a lighting audit of the multi-purpose room.
A lighting audit is a comprehensive evaluation of a building’s lighting system to identify areas of inefficiency and opportunities for improvement. This process involves analyzing the current lighting setup, including the type of bulbs, fixtures, and controls used, and assessing how well they are meeting the lighting needs of the space.
One of the primary goals of a lighting audit is to identify areas where energy usage can be reduced. By doing so, a building can significantly reduce its energy consumption and lower its utility bills.
The team specializes in providing energy-efficient lighting solutions to businesses across various industries. Lighting can account for up to 40% of a business’s energy consumption and can be a significant expense within a facility. The team provides a comprehensive energy savings proposal that will help reduce energy usage and save money.
The lighting specialists provide a lighting audit detailing possible energy savings and other cost savings of upgrading the facility’s lighting. It will list the estimated total project cost, utility rebates available, return on investment, the cost of waiting, and even show examples of real impacts this project’s energy savings will make on our environment.
The Results:
Before:
After:
The lighting team generated a lighting layout, and determined that the job would be able to accomplish what the customer wanted with a reduced number of fixtures. The customer was very happy with the results and the uniformity of the light levels throughout the space. The customer had no idea we would be able to accomplish what they wanted with reduced fixtures. This saved the customer time and money!
Conclusion
This lighting update transformed the multi-purpose room into a bright, functional, and inviting space. Users can now engage in a variety of activities with proper light levels, and the space is more energy-efficient and cost-effective. Upgrading the lighting in this multi-purpose room was a simple yet effective way to enhance its functionality while saving energy.
Performing lighting audits is an essential tool for updating lighting in any building.
