A total of 14 indoor connected lighting systems are installed in working classrooms at The New School, Parsons School of Design in New York City. Ongoing evaluations in a “living lab” offer insights from installers, evaluators, and classroom users.
Six outdoor connected lighting systems are installed in parking lots at Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), and beginning an evaluation process that will continue for the next two years.
