Project 4.5 Integrated Classroom Lighting System - Reports


The following reports are available.

  • Performance Verification Report - FERRO undertook an extensive development program to develop a new, custom plastic that achieved over 97 percent reflectivity and that was easy to injection mold. This report presents the evaluation of this material as a
    component of a new classroom light fixture.
  • Design Templates - This document provides the templates for the three integrated lighting systems (good, better, and best) for classrooms.
  • Finelite Press Release - Dated August 2003, the first press release for this project.
  • Integrated Classroom Lighting Presentation - This power point details the different installations, benefits and costs, and initial feedback from the test sites.
  • School Sites - A list of the 19 sites that have been installed with the lighting systems.
  • ICLS Case Study - the document highlights the results of the ICLS at Heritage Oaks School.
  • ICLS Performance Specification - For Section 16500, this document provides the specification for an energy efficient lighting system based on the ICLS.
  • Project Final Report - Over 180 pages of project findings, manufacturer literature, and test site results.
  • Appendices for Project Final Report - zip file.

Project Information for the Integrated Classroom Lighting System


The energy monitoring data from the 2003/04 school year is available for the 25 California classrooms monitored at the six schools under this project. 19 of the classrooms had variations of the ICLS installed and 6 of the classrooms had typical 2X4 lay-in troffer T-8 lighting. The zip files for five of the schools are posted below and vary from ~8 to 32 MB.
