This is a 1,000-seat dining hall at Rutgers University in New Jersey. The existing lighting (shown in the first image) consumed 70 kW of electricity. This was an incredibly drab institutional space.

​

In the subsequent images, you'll see the large custom fixture I designed as caps for the 12 columns.  This resulted in a 42 kW reduction in energy use while doubling the light levels.

​

This project won an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) award that highlighted the 70% energy reduction.
