What is a Lighting Upgrade?

Any measure that improves the operation of a facility’s lighting. The range of projects that can be completed under this heading is limitless.

A lighting upgrade can be as simple as screwing in one new light bulb or it can include the installation of thousands of new fixtures with controls that interface with your current BMS while meeting the most stringent ASHRAE or LEED specifications.

There are many variables to consider:
  • What is the operation of the facility?
  • What are your energy conservation goals?
  • What is your budget?
  • What upgrades have already been completed in the facility?
  • Do you have issues with light levels or color?
