The project involves an upgrade of the lighting systems at both North and South Hilltop House buildings at Squamish General Hospital. The purpose of the proposed recommendations is as follows:

• reduce energy use and operating costs;

• provide lighting levels suitable to the tasks performed;

• add occupancy controls for reduced lighting in corridors during overnight hour;

• improve technology and equipment standardization; and

• improve the visual environment and quality of lighting for occupants.

The proposed modifications generally include one of the following actions: 

• retrofit fluorescent luminaires with solid-state light emitting diode (LED) light engines and dimmable Class 2 drivers;

• remove excess quantity of luminaires and reconfigure luminaire locations;

• retrofit recessed CFL downlights with dimmable LED retrofit kits;

• retrofit surface mounted CFL wall sconces and domes with dimmable LED retrofit kits;

• replace stairwell luminaires with new LED bi-level switching luminaires with integrated occupancy controls;

• relamp luminaires with screw-based incandescent and CFL lamps with LED screw-based lamps; and replace remaining exterior HID luminaires with equivalent LED lighting systems.
