This module presents real-world results from an ESTCP project demonstrating a wireless and fully-integrated LED lighting controls platform. Follow along to learn how retrofitting three Department of Defense (DoD) facilities – an aircraft hangar, supply warehouse, and gymnasium – delivered more light with less energy, cutting energy costs by up to 90%.
