Course Summary
While reducing the energy used for lighting remains a priority for most school districts, an increasing number of them are also interested in the non-energy potential benefits of lighting. This course examines a trial installation of Tunable White LED lighting systems installed in three classrooms in the Folsom Cordova Unified School District. The study tracked the system performance and the student and teacher outcomes from one general education and two classrooms for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
