Campus Lighting Solutions
Cities aren’t the only ones who benefit from network lighting. Implementing smart lighting controls is one of the top things campuses can do to conserve energy, reduce maintenance costs, and, most importantly, improve campus safety.
Energy Conservation
“On and off” are no longer the only options for campus lighting. With smart lighting controls, users can synchronize campus lights with sunrise/sunset, and brighten or dim according to needs. In addition to the environmental benefits, using less means spending less.
Maintenance Efficiencies
Lighting controls allow campus maintenance crews to remotely monitor the system and quickly identify fixtures in need of repair. This not only saves time, but reduces maintenance costs as well.
Improved Campus Safety
Campus safety continues to be a top concern when choosing a college or university; students and their families want to know what is being done to ensure a safe and protective environment. Smart lighting controls are one of the easiest and effective solutions available to implement on campuses.
