Case Study: Large-Scale LED Lighting Upgrade for Multi-Building Campus

Project Overview

The university sought to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability by replacing outdated fluorescent lights with energy-efficient LED alternatives. This upgrade was part of their broader commitment to lowering operational expenses, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing the overall lighting quality across the campus.
