Acuity Brands recently has started to install its Holophane® brand of luminaires and ROAM® wireless controls for Florida A&M University ("FAMU").
ROAM is an Acuity Brands award winning lighting control and monitoring system that minimizes total life-cycle cost, while enhancing safety and sustainability.
In July 2010 the University began undertaking an electrical service upgrade across the entire campus, which comprises 156 buildings spread over 422 acres in Tallahassee, Florida, including an upgrade to campus amenity lighting.
The lighting upgrade centered on the installation of more than 750 new Holophane GranVille® luminaires and Holophane Oslow style decorative posts. Many of the newly installed GranVille luminaires utilize highly efficient LED as their source technology. The upgrade will include the use of the ROAM control system, wirelessly interconnecting the entire outdoor lighting system on campus.
