From the design phase to installation is often a long road. Ivan McMillan of SCLP Ally Designer Trautman Associates designed and submitted the NCCC Health Education Center for the Qualifying Lighting Project Phase 1 Design Incentive back in June 2004. This complicated 10,000 square foot project includes nine different space types (reception, offices, classrooms, corridors, etc.) and 26 separate areas. All the spaces met the Program criteria for energy efficiency and proper light levels, and all of the fixtures specified met the glare control requirements for the application in which they were used, while providing uniform lighting. Now, a year later, the project is complete and was built as designed. Trautman Associates will now receive an additional $500 Qualifying Lighting Project Phase 2 Design Incentive. We encourage all Ally Designers to review their Phase I projects and submit them for the Phase II incentives. Contact your Account Manager for more details.
