LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
Shedding New Light on an Old Problem
On average, lighting accounts for almost 50% of all electricity consumed by public schools, 25% for retail facilities, 23% for hotels, 17% for commercial buildings, and 16% for healthcare facilities. Beyond the cost benefits, today’s luminaries and controls have the ability to actively support the productivity, health, and well-being of building occupants.

Lighting Controls
Exciting New Technologies
Upgrading lighting controls in commercial buildings delivers measurable energy, cost, and performance benefits. According to the DOE, advanced lighting controls—such as occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and adaptive dimming—can reduce lighting energy use by 35% to 70%, depending on the building type and usage patterns. These systems automatically adjust illumination based on occupancy, daylight levels, and scheduling, cutting wasted energy and extending the life of lighting fixtures by reducing burn hours. Beyond energy savings, modern controls improve occupant comfort, productivity, and safety through consistent light quality and flexibility in work environments. ​​​​​
Lighting Design
Creating Healthier, More Productive Indoor Environments
Modern lighting design technologies are transforming the way commercial spaces look, feel, and perform. Today’s smart LEDs, tunable white lighting, and advanced control systems create dynamic, energy-efficient environments that adapt to natural light, occupancy, and user preferences.
These innovations can cut energy use by up to 60%, reduce maintenance costs, and improve occupant well-being through better color rendering and circadian-friendly illumination. By integrating with building automation systems, new lighting technologies also enhance sustainability, optimize performance, and elevate the overall aesthetic and functionality of any space.
