Acuity Brands Industry Applications

Application guidance for commercial office, healthcare, K-12 and higher-education classrooms, retail, hospitality, distribution and warehouse, parking-structure, sports field, roadway, and Class I Division hazardous lighting programs across both new construction and retrofit scopes.

From Class I Division 2 hazardous refineries running Holophane Predator high-bays to K-12 classroom retrofits using Lithonia VTLED tunable-white troffers tuned across 2700K through 6500K, application engineers maintain reference designs covering office, healthcare, retail, hospitality, warehouse, parking-structure, sports field, and roadway scopes that respect both ANSI/IES RP-1 visual targets and the local energy code.

Acuity Brands Industry Applications: industry cards for real project decisions

Reference designs map RP-1 office targets at 30-40 maintained footcandles to BLT-LP and 2BLT troffers, RP-7 industrial high-bay targets at 50 fc onto Holophane Predator and IBG round high-bays, and RP-20 parking-structure photometrics to Lithonia D-Series area lights with Type II, III, and IV optical distributions, while educational scopes lean on VTLED tunable white at 0.5-step dimming for circadian schedules.

Class A office

2x2 BLT-LP troffers at 35 lm/W delivered through batwing optics provide 30 maintained footcandles with UGR<19 ratings across open-plan benches, hot-desk neighborhoods, and conference Type-22 layouts, paired with 0-10V dimming for personal control overrides at every workstation cluster.

Distribution warehouse

IBG round high-bays mounted at 28 ft project 30 footcandles on rack tops with five-degree narrow optics, 110 lm/W efficacy under ambient 40 C, and integrated nLight aisle occupancy sensors that drop unoccupied lanes to 10 percent within thirty seconds.

Healthcare patient room

nCom downlights and Mark Architectural patient-room linear products blend exam-mode 5000K daylight tones with night-mode 2700K warm tones via DALI-2 dimming down to 0.1 percent output, supporting circadian schedules tuned through the headwall control panel.

Roadway and area

D-Series Size 1 and Size 2 area lights with Type II, III, and IV optics meet RP-8 luminance and uniformity ratios for collector roads and parking lots at 25 ft pole heights, 4000K CCT, and ANSI C136.41 dimming receptacles for photocell control.

Project Stats / counter bar

Acuity Brands Industry Applications: project stats for real project decisions

Across the last fiscal year regional teams supported more than 18,000 specification packages, including 4,200 K-12 classroom retrofits, 2,600 corporate office buildouts, 1,900 healthcare clinical refreshes, 3,400 industrial DC and warehouse projects, and a growing roster of stadium, university campus, and Class I Division 1 hazardous-area programs that require BAA-compliant sourcing, with average delivery from PO to staging warehouse holding under six weeks.

18,000 specs

Annual fixture and controls submittal packages issued through regional sales agents, direct national-account engineering teams, and the federal-channel desk supporting GSA, VA, and Department of Defense projects across the continental United States and Hawaii.

4,200 schools

K-12 classroom retrofits using VTLED tunable-white troffers and Mark Architectural pendants aligned to circadian schedules, ASHRAE 90.1 daylight-zone requirements, and CHPS Collaborative for High Performance Schools visual-comfort guidance for elementary and secondary classroom programs.

3,400 DCs

Industrial high-bay projects spanning grocery cold storage, e-commerce sortation, parcel hubs, and bulk warehousing with networked nLight aisle control, motion-driven dimming, and integrated emergency egress packs sized for the local NFPA 101 path-of-egress lumen targets.

BAA listed

Buy America Act-compliant SKUs are maintained across the troffer, downlight, area, high-bay, and emergency-exit categories for federal building scopes, with documented domestic content percentages filed against the most recent Build America Buy America rule update.
