The Property Operates Around the Clock. Every Space Doesn't Have to Operate the Same Way.
A 24-hour property does not mean every lighting zone has the same schedule, responsibility, economics, or control opportunity.
Separate the Property Into Real Operating Zones
Common areas, corridors, stairwells, amenities, parking, exterior areas, management spaces, maintenance spaces, and other areas may operate differently.
- Common areas
- Corridors
- Stairwells
- Amenities
- Parking
- Exterior areas
- Management spaces
- Maintenance spaces
Clarify Ownership and Responsibility
Determine which systems and energy costs are owner-paid, resident-paid, shared, or otherwise outside the project scope before modeling economics.
- Owner-paid
- Resident-paid
- Shared
- Outside the project scope
Controls Need Space-Specific Judgment
Occupancy and scheduling can differ significantly by area. Apply the right level of control to the right spaces.
Resident Experience Is Context, Not a Guaranteed Outcome
Consider how work affects occupied spaces without claiming improved satisfaction, rent, retention, property value, or other unsupported outcomes.
Safety Claims Require Evidence
Lighting can be part of the property environment, but do not guarantee safety or security outcomes.
Plan Around an Occupied Property
Access, communication, sequencing, resident activity, management operations, and site rules can affect implementation.
- Access
- Communication
- Sequencing
- Resident activity
- Management operations
- Site rules
Incentives and Portfolio Context
Verify program requirements for the actual property and compare portfolio opportunities using building-specific information.
