Lighting & Building Automation
Circadia partners with your organization to conduct a systematic assessment of your building assets, creating short-, medium-, and long-term strategies to enhance the performance of your lighting controls and building automation systems. By combining deep industry knowledge with strong program management capabilities, we deliver a comprehensive and actionable plan designed to maximize energy efficiency, minimize maintenance costs, and improve the resilience of your building infrastructure. Our approach emphasizes unbiased, tailored solutions that align with the unique requirements of your buildings — always keeping your budget and goals in focus.
Assessment of existing conditions
Our expert lighting auditors can review existing Investment Grade Lighting Audits (IGLAs) or create new ones tailored to your institution. Using advanced tools, we provide clear, actionable audits that lead directly to effective lighting solutions. Each audit outlines a path to improved energy efficiency, enhanced lighting performance, and includes a long-term cost-benefit analysis to highlight both economic and energy savings.
Strategy, Development and Stakeholder Buy-in
A Master Plan is a strategic roadmap for upgrading your building to maximize energy efficiency, enhance future resiliency, and reduce maintenance, while staying within your budget and timeline. Expanding upon energy and lighting audits, we create high-level 1- to 5-year plans to upgrade key building systems such as lighting and HVAC. The process includes reviewing documentation, conducting site visits, engaging stakeholders, and analyzing utility data.
Our unbiased design approach leverages qualified experts to develop lighting control solutions. We use proven technologies to seamlessly integrate lighting and automation systems, collaborating closely with your facilities team to standardize controls. The result is efficient building management with long-term flexibility and reduced maintenance.
We work closely with your team to plan, coordinate, and manage your lighting program. By engaging stakeholders and understanding your facility’s unique needs, we address decarbonization goals, maintenance concerns, legacy systems, and access or scheduling challenges. Our clear solutions and timelines allow for thorough review and alignment with funding protocols, ensuring integrated upgrades with minimal disruption to daily operations
Implementation and Analytics
As your owner’s representative, we help manage every aspect of your program – from developing labor and material RFPs to overseeing bidding and implementation. We work closely with your team to plan, coordinate, and execute each phase of the project with precision.
Comparing projected energy savings to actual performance is essential to meeting your goals. Using advanced energy tools and our proven experience, we provide regular updates to ensure your project stays on track. This ongoing tracking also supports your eligibility for available local rebates and incentives.
Our team ensures all punch list items are completed and project financials are reviewed and balanced against the budget. We verify that rebates are received, and all systems are properly commissioned. Circadia also ensures key personnel are fully trained on any new equipment or systems, enabling efficient building operation with minimal maintenance.

Our team of expert lighting auditors can review existing IGLAs or create new ones for your institution. Utilizing innovative technologies, we deliver clear and concise audits that facilitate straightforward development into solutions. Deliverables from an IGLA include a clear path to becoming more energy efficient, often with better lighting performance, and a long-term cost benefit analysis that demonstrates the economic and energy savings values of following through on the audit recommendations.
Our unbiased design approach involves qualified lighting experts who create and compare tailored lighting upgrade solutions for your specific applications. We consider re-lamp, retrofit, and new fixture options, collaborating with your local lighting ecosystem and facilities teams to standardize controls and fixture types for futureproofing and ease of maintenance. Additionally, we explore rebate initiatives to align the solution with your budget and payback timeline.
As the owner’s representatives, we seamlessly integrate with your staff to plan, coordinate, and efficiently manage your lighting program. Engaging with all stakeholders, we delve into your facilities’ unique attributes, addressing decarbonation initiatives, ongoing maintenance, integration with legacy systems, and scheduling or access requirements. A comprehensive understanding of your institution’s operations allows us to seamlessly integrate solutions, minimizing impacts on occupants.
Our subject matter experts ensure comprehensive training for facilities personnel, provide O&M materials, and confirm the completion of measurement and verification. We continue to support our clients after project completion with trouble shooting, warranty support, and consulting services to help ensure the client meets the objectives set for their program.
We value strong client relationships.
