Kids R Kids improves classroom environment, reduces maintenance with LightEdison solution.

Challenge

Kids R Kids is a Las Vegas early learning academy that provides innovative facilities and effective educational programs for children from 6 weeks through 12 years of age. Educators were noting negative impacts to their classrooms due to inconsistent color temperatures and low light levels based on ongoing maintenance issues. The legacy lighting system was also putting extra strain on the operational budget. 

Solution

LightEdison specified and installed 165 fixture retrofits and 13 lamp replacements; increasing delivered lumens by over 15%, adding color temperature consistency throughout and improving the education environment with increased color rendering. The improved light quality in the classrooms allows the kids to more easily focus on the teacher and learning lessons. The students also display increased energy and attention.  

Results

Kids R Kids has avoided paying a net of $42,987 in direct lighting costs over the next 10 years. Lighting energy use was reduced by 65% which immediately eased pressure on the operational budget. More importantly, they have the freedom to reallocate those funds to programs that have a meaningful direct impact on the student learning experience. 

Testimonial

“Go Solar has installed solar systems on a number of Kids R Kids Academies, and we were asked by their owners if there were other ways to save money and reduce their carbon footprint. When we partnered with LightEdison, Kids R Kids were one of the first projects we took on. Our experience has been seamless and professional from start to finish. The professionals from LightEdison have been there every step of the way for both Go Solar and our clients”.
