The National Lighting Bureau Recognizes Retrofit Projects that value light by promoting health
and safety.
DALLAS, TX – The National Lighting Bureau is calling for final entries into the first
Annual Lighting Transformation Awards to be held during the 2023 NALMCO Annual
Convention in Palm Springs, California.
The National Lighting Bureau is pleased to introduce the new Lighting Transformation
Awards for 2023. This program recognizes excellence in lighting retrofit projects – defined as
those projects involving minimum alteration of existing building materials. Through the creative
use of lighting systems and controls, these projects should illustrate the value of lighting, including but not limited to improved visual performance, promotion of health and wellness, environmental
impact including reduced light pollution/preservation of nighttime lighting quality, enhanced
safety and security, and increased overall occupant satisfaction.
The main intent of the program is to promote best practices for a variety of indoor and
outdoor lighting applications – office buildings, industrial and warehouse, schools, healthcare
facilities, retail, and hospitality. The program aims to recognize and showcase projects that provide
a narrative and “how to” guide for others with similar lighting retrofit challenges.
The key elements of the project submittal are to describe the process at arriving at the final
lighting retrofit solution, and to provide the metrics that demonstrate why the retrofit solution is
successful.
Anyone may enter a project for the Lighting Transformation Awards, and there are no fees
for entry. Projects should have been completed within the 2021, 2022 and 2023 calendar years.
Submissions should be entered via the designated online submittal form and completed no later
than August 1, 2023.
Winning projects will be recognized during the 2023 NALMCO Annual Convention in
Palm Springs, California. More details to follow.
