The submission period for the 2024 Recognition Program closed on March 31st and we are so impressed with the projects that came in!
We received over 20 submissions from our partners, some new and some returning from previous years. I don’t want to give too much away but I will say the submissions span educational facilities, community centers, local governments, corporate headquarters, and more. It’s always impressive to see how lighting and lighting controls are being used in unique buildings and spaces to save energy across the country, while improving the occupant experience.
We are now reviewing and scoring all submissions before we send them over to the ILC Organizing Committee so they can review and make the final call on who’s recognized this year. As in previous years, we’ll announce recognition as IES24 The Lighting Conference, August 15 – 17 in New York City. Hope to see you there!
