Reclaiming daylight benefits for schools

01

LEARNING

Optimize the learning environment with research-applied illumination.

02

FLICKER-FREE

Flickering ambience can cause many negative side effects for children.

03

COLORS

More colors to experience and express. Fuller spectrum is better for all education contexts.

WSSP 2015 Update

After meeting all requirements above, provide a lighting system that is designed to change the color of the luminaires (approximately 3,000 K – 5,000 K) based on the respective color of the sunlight throughout the day. (Systems may be called tunable white, circadian rhythm, human-centric lighting, etc.) System may have the ability to have a temporary override (up to 60 minutes) for “calm” (3,000 K) and/or “test” (5,000 K) settings.

The state has a Washington Sustainable Schools Protocol (WSSP) that requires state-funded school construction projects greater than 5,000 square feet (chapter 39.35 RCW) to incorporate high-performance features into their school design and construction.

“Working with PlanLED has been a very positive experience. They deliver on their promises, totally stand behind their products, and completely understand the value of customer service. Their commitment to improve interior environments with tunable LED lighting has not only made me aware of how this type of technology impacts our students’ learning environment, but has also inspired me to target special education classrooms where the impact will be most critical.”

SHINE with Mariano Rivera

"I want every school district to have Planled's lighting solutions because it's good for education, it's good for our communities and since it's green, it's good for all of us."
