The Parking Department is working with F&S Engineering Design to implement an exciting pilot test of new LED adaptive lighting technology. Adaptive lighting uses motion sensors and bi-level lights to cut back on energy consumption when a parking lot is empty. The Big Ten and Friends Environmental Stewardship Group discussed this technology in November 2010, and the SSC Chair was included in the original meeting. At that time, this team agreed that it is an innovative technology that can be applied in the Midwest to reduce energy consumption from parking areas across the area. During 2012, the UI worked with peer institutions to form the Midwest Collaboration for Adaptive Lighting (M-CAL). The goal is to implement this innovative technology on multiple Big Ten campuses, so it can be proven as an effective energy conservation technology for use throughout the region. This system has been proven to work well in California, and this team is excited to show how well it can work here in Illinois. With this installation, tbe University can show the cities of Urbana and Champaign the benefits of adaptive lighting, and help spread the word about this new technology.
