Lighting Upgrades for Schools

Save on operational costs while improving lighting quality and creating better learning environments.

Change lighting. Change perceptions about your school.

Most of the things you do to reduce the energy intensity of your building are invisible to visitors. But not lighting. As you're upgrading lighting to reduce operating costs, decarbonize and be more sustainable, you can also change the indoor environment for the better.

Replacing outdated lighting is a great way to save on operational costs while improving lighting quality. Upgrading older fluorescent lamp technology and first-generation LEDs can provide immediate energy, sustainability, aesthetic and productivity benefits. Even bigger opportunities exist just down the road. Choosing the right solutions now will make it all more accessible.

First things first. Trane can meet your energy retrofit objectives safely and cost-effectively, using high-quality solutions that expand the possibilities of what lighting can do.

The future starts here. Here's where the lighting industry is going:

Networked lighting systems will simplify operation
Lighting and HVAC systems that are controlled together will increase energy savings exponentially
Touchless operation will spread less germs
Using LEDs that are dimmable, or that replicate the color temperature changes of natural sunlight, will create environments that support occupant productivity and well-being
