Holt Public Schools, a K-12 school district in central Michigan installed nearly 10,000 LED luminaires and retrofit kits, almost 8,000 Bluetooth communication devices, and 9,000 lighting control devices at nine schools across the district. Switching from fluorescent to LED saves 756,000 kWh per year, a reduction of 63%. The advanced controls saved an additional 135,000 kWh, bringing the total annual savings to over 890,000 kWh per year. Learn More.
