About the Project

Washington State School for the Blind in Vancouver, Washington, is recognized in the Advanced Use of Sensors and Controls for Lighting category. The school, which specifically serves visually impaired students, upgraded their lighting to white-tunable LEDs and ceiling-mounted sensors that allow for both dimming and scheduled operation. The school installed white-tunable luminaires to explore non-visual lighting impacts on students. The project reports the upgrades resulted in total annual energy savings of 68,000 kWh/year, and a 74% reduction in energy consumption.
