University Campus LED Lighting Upgrade
Project Overview
A large-scale energy efficiency project transforming lighting across Egerton University's main campus. This comprehensive retrofit replaced 2,500 outdated fixtures with energy-efficient LED lighting, installed smart controls with occupancy sensors, and implemented a centralized management system. The project covers classrooms, laboratories, libraries, dormitories, and outdoor spaces, dramatically reducing energy consumption while improving lighting quality for students and staff.
Campus-wide LED retrofit for 40-acre university with smart lighting controls.
