Classrooms, fields, and parking — built around your calendar.
K-12 districts and university campuses. LED retrofits for classrooms, gyms, athletic fields, parking lots, and exterior walkways. Built around tight install windows, rebate capture, and public procurement requirements.
The pain points we keep seeing.
Schools need retrofits that pay back inside a funding cycle. Capital timelines, board approvals, and incentive deadlines all have to align. Miss a window and the project waits another year.
Summer break is your only real window for interior work. Night install for athletic fields. If a crew misses the schedule, students come back to construction. We schedule around the school calendar, not ours.
Game film, televised games, and night practices all require IES RP-6-22 foot-candle minimums. Old HID does not hit the numbers, takes 10 minutes to restrike at halftime, and maintenance costs are climbing.
Aging fluorescent classrooms, dim parking lots, and failing gym fixtures create a constant stream of maintenance requests. Districts with 50+ buildings cannot keep up without a systematic approach.
Classroom + athletic + parking — stacked rebates.
Education retrofits stack the best of multiple sources: TVA EnergyRight rebates for interior and exterior, Alabama Power incentive programs, and project financing via the district capital plan. Most school projects land inside a 2-4 year payback window including the athletic component.
- TVA EnergyRight: qualifying retrofits can cover 20-40% of project cost
- Athletic field LED delivers 50-70% energy reduction vs metal halide plus instant restrike
- Classroom LED with CRI 90+ improves measurable student focus per PNNL research
- Alabama A&M Stadium: $162K TVA rebate secured before install, broadcast-quality delivered
Real k-12 & universityprojects we’ve delivered.
We have retrofitted Alabama A&M University Stadium, Florida State University facilities, Monroe County Schools, Vestavia Hills City Schools, Homewood High School, Hunter Street Baseball Complex, and Tallassee City Schools. Every school project is different but they all need the same thing: a partner who understands the calendar, the budget cycle, and the rebate programs.
School audit, no disruption.
Walk-throughs scheduled around the school calendar. Proposal broken out by classroom, athletic, and exterior. Rebate applications included.
