Strategy
Atelier Ten assessed Payne Whitney Gymnasium’s existing lighting system, analyzed and recommended lighting performance measures, and is now assisting in the implementation of these energy saving strategies throughout the facility.
The key effective energy-saving strategy is a new lighting system that can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of each activity. To that effect, Atelier Ten made specific recommendations for upgrades to controls, lamps, ballasts, and luminaires. All recommendations have also been selected with maintainability and durability in mind, while improving the lighting and visual quality in the facility.
