For 100 years, UC Davis has engaged in teaching, research and public service that matter to California and transform the world. Located close to Sacramento, UC Davis has 31,000 students, an annual research budget that exceeds $500 million, a comprehensive health system, and 13 specialized research centers.
California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC), within the Design Program at UC Davis, is a research and education facility that focuses on the application of energy-efficient lighting and daylighting technologies through research, development, demonstration, outreach, and education in partnership with utilities, manufacturers, end users, builders, designers, and governmental agencies.

The new LED light fixtures at the South Entry Parking Structure feature activity-sensing technology adapted and developed at the California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) at UC Davis. The lights and activity-sensing technology provide enhanced nighttime visibility while reducing energy consumption by up to 80 percent compared with the metal halide fixtures that were replaced.
Switching to LED lights and adding bi-level activity-sensing technology yields energy savings for the project of 50 percent when the lights are at full power and 80 percent when at half power. UC Davis projects that the maintenance savings will be 42 percent compared with the fixtures that were replaced. |
