Simmons University: LED Lighting and controls upgrade
Founded in 1899, Simmons is a private university that sits in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. Featuring a historic campus and 8:1 student/faculty ratio, Simmons delivers a high quality and boutique experience to its students. This includes close attention to the operations of its buildings as well.
The efficiency solutions group's LED lighting team engineered this design/build project to feature new lighting, retrofitted lamps and fixtures with added occupancy controls. A turnkey project, this upgrade started with a no-cost audit to identify the opportunities and resulted in retrofits taking place in two primary buildings on campus, including the Main College Building and the sports center.
