Students Drive Effort To Introduce “Smart Lighting” on Rensselaer Campus

An effort by students, faculty, and staff at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to install ultra-efficient LED light bulbs in one campus facility will save the university approximately $21,000 per year. Along with creating opportunities for reduced energy consumption and further cost savings in the future, the project is an important first step toward transforming the entire campus into a real-world laboratory for the emerging field of “Smart Lighting.”
