During the Performance Period

A preventative maintenance program will likely involve no or low costs.

As a best practice, use manual or automatic controls to turn off exterior lighting during late-night hours when reduced lighting will not create a safety risk.

Adhere to a preventative maintenance program to regularly inspect exterior lamps, fixtures, and shielding to ensure minimal levels of light pollution.

Option 2 – Exterior Fixture Shielding

No action is needed during the performance period for compliance with this option.

Option 1 – Prior LEED Certification

Exterior Lighting Systems

Compliance for this option is low-to-no cost.

Work with custodial staff to ensure that control systems are reactivated appropriately following an override situation.

If manual overrides are available for occasional after-hours use, check that lighting system controls are restored to normal shut-off schedules following any overrides.
