SWBR was recognized by the Rochester Chapter of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) with RIT’s Golisano Institute for Sustainability receiving the Energetix Excellence in Green Lighting Award. The overall building lighting was designed to exceed ASHRAE requirements by 45%. Lighting controls included extensive daylighting, multi-level illumination levels and interconnection to the campus control system. Specific attention was paid to the building exterior site lighting to reduce power while maintaining a safe and secure environment for the Campus.
The IES Rochester Chapter annually recognizes excellence in design for local lighting projects. An award luncheon was held on February 10, 2014 at Midvale Country Club to honor all of the winning projects in the Rochester area.
