LIGHTING TRANSFORMATION AWARDS
The main intent of the Lighting Transformation Awards is to promote best practices for a variety of indoor and outdoor lighting retrofit applications. Retrofit projects in this program are defined as including a minimum alteration of building materials. Through the creative use of lighting systems and controls, these projects should illustrate the value of lighting, including but not limited to improved visual performance, promotion of health and wellness, environmental impact including reduced light pollution/preservation of nighttime lighting quality, enhanced safety and security, and increased overall occupant satisfaction.
The program aims to recognize and showcase projects that provide a narrative and “how to” guide for others with similar lighting retrofit challenges.
