About the Project

Reidsville Family YMCA in Reidsville, North Carolina, is recognized in the Advanced Lighting Solutions for Small Projects or Buildings; Innovative Maintenance, Operation, and Financing Service Models; and Energy Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (EJDEI) in Advanced Lighting categories. The community center installed 190 interior LED panels, 160 exterior LED tubes, and 23 occupancy sensor light switches. These installations were done with no capital costs to the community center itself. Rather, procurement, installation, operation, and maintenance were all outsourced to a company that specializes in Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) as part of a 10-year agreement. The lighting project improved overall visibility, safety, and comfort for YMCA visitors and community members.
