If you have been here in the evening or early morning, you may have noticed brighter parking lots and garages. Facilities Operations has upgraded the Monte Vista, Breckenridge and parts of the Aspen and Breckenridge lots to LED light fixtures which provide a 200% increase in lumens (brightness) while saving energy operational costs (they last longer) and reducing CO2 emissions by 9.5 metric tons (MT) per year.

A similar project in the Henderson Parking Structure provides a 163% increase in lumens and saves 16 MT-CO2 per year. Facilities Operations continues to upgrade lighting around campus to increase safety and decrease  resource consumption.
