West Chester School District

E.N. Peirce & G.A. Stetson Middle Schools LED Parking Lot Conversion

The West Chester Area School District serves the borough and surrounding townships of West Chester, Pennsylvania. The other parts include the surrounding townships of East Bradford, East Goshen, Thornbury, West Goshen, West Whiteland, and Westtown, all in Chester County, as well as Thornbury Township in adjacent Delaware County. The WCASD consists of ten elementary schools, three middle schools, and three high schools.

The Problem

The District was looking for a solution to improve the lighting quality and decrease the energy consumption associated with their exterior lighting at two middle schools. Having their own maintenance employees, they also wanted a solution that would reduce the time that their existing employees would have to spend maintaining and repairing the exterior lighting system.

The Solution

  • Replace existing 250w metal halide parking lot fixtures with new 101w LED fixtures
  • Replace existing 400w metal halide parking lot fixtures with new 168w LED fixtures

 

The Results

Below is a series of pictures of the West Chester Area School District project where you can see the visual impact of the LED conversion. Stouch Lighting helped to increase visibility for E.N Pierce and G.A. Stetson Middle School parking lots while reducing their energy costs.
