Office & Campus LED retrofits in North Carolina.
Office parks, corporate campuses, mixed-use developments, convention centers, and hospitality venues. Portfolio-wide LED retrofits with a single specification across buildings so every facade, walkway, and parking area reads consistently after dark.
What office & campus operators in North Carolina should know.
North Carolina commercial rates average ~$0.103/kWh. Duke Energy Carolinas dominates the utility landscape. Charlotte's rapid growth and the Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham) drive strong commercial project demand. Asheville's hospitality market and coastal Wilmington add specialty work.
Average commercial rate: $0.103/kWh
North Carolina incentive navigation
Duke Energy Carolinas and Progress cover most of NC. Rebates pay $27-$264/fixture capped at 75% of project cost.
What office & campus operators tell us is broken.
Inconsistent spec across buildings
Campuses grow over decades. Each building gets a different fixture vintage. The result is a property that reads disjointed after dark.
Tenant SLAs on lighting uptime
Corporate office tenants expect uptime SLAs on common area lighting. One fixture out = a call to the PM. LED + controls eliminate most of those calls.
ESG reporting is mandatory now
Class A office portfolios report Scope 1 + 2 emissions. LED retrofits are the fastest path to a credible reduction number that auditors accept.
Phased install complexity
Large campuses can't go dark. We phase the install building-by-building with no impact on tenants or operations.
Knight Building Campus is the reference — multi-building commercial campus with a unified LED design across offices, parking decks, and walkways. Every surface reads at the same level.
One spec. One install partner. One point of accountability.
Portfolio-wide LED on a campus isn't harder than a single building — it's actually easier when you have one spec across every building. The cost per fixture drops, the install crew gets efficient, and the property ends up feeling intentional.
- Single LED spec across all buildings drives down per-fixture cost via volume
- 4000K CCT across the whole campus creates visual continuity after dark
- Commissioning once for the portfolio vs 10 times for individual buildings
- Unified warranty and service contract covers every building at one rate
Portfolio audit.
We'll walk every building, deliver a unified spec, and phase the install so nothing goes dark. One crew, one timeline, one point of accountability.
