Case Study: Milwaukee Area Technical College improves visibility and reduces energy costs with Cree Lighting

MATC-Milwaukee cuts energy use by 70% with Cree Lighting

Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC-Milwaukee) sought to improve lighting performance and save energy across its four campuses. Their challenge was to replace outdated, costly HID exterior lighting with a solution that would enhance visibility and security while reducing maintenance demands. They partnered with vendor Cree Lighting to retrofit their exterior luminaires.

Cree Lighting implemented a solution using their LED luminaires for parking structures, area lighting, and security lighting. The results included dramatically improved visibility, increased architectural appeal, and a major reduction in energy and maintenance costs. Cree Lighting's solution achieved a 70 percent energy savings for the college, validating the project's benefits and significantly reducing the campus's environmental impact.
