Solutions
The project required a building-wide lighting controls upgrade to replace the obsolete full-way low voltage system. Wired and wireless solutions were used to ensure the ability for scheduling, occupancy sensing and programming to best match each environment throughout the building including office spaces, classrooms, common areas and gymnasiums.
A highlight of the project included installing custom task lighting with temperature control options in a computer lab equipped with 3D printers. We replaced existing fixtures with enabled LED luminaries throughout the building for optimum performance with the new controls system. Wesco Energy Solutions team completed the upgrades on time working during off-hours when school was not in session. Our team managed recycling of all fixtures and completed all required paperwork to be in compliance with BC Hydro’s Power Smart Program.
