"With new LED lighting on our main campus, we achieve far better area illumination--enhancing visibility and safety at night," said Humberto Speziani, vice president, business services. "The LED lights are more energy-efficient than other technologies, reducing our carbon footprint in line with the state’s aggressive goals. The University of Miami is working toward 'greener' facilities, and we continue to evaluate new technologies, such as LED lighting, for both interior and exterior applications. The university intends to monitor the performance of LED lighting and other sustainable technologies as they continue to advance."

Project Highlights

• 20 BetaLED™ LEDway fixtures now illuminate walkways on the main campus in Coral Gables, providing much-improved visibility and safety.
• In addition, the university is evaluating LED lighting for interior applications such as conference rooms, hallways and classrooms.
• LED lighting pilot installations are saving as much as 70 percent on energy used for lighting conference rooms and hallways.
