Lighting Policy and Guidelines

Policy

Clanton & Associates works with public and private entities to establish effective and actionable policies ranging from outdoor lighting ordinances and energy code advancement to health and wellness recommendations and criteria development. We collaborate with city, state, and federal governments to select relevant benchmarks tailored to a community or organization's needs. Our process allows us to engage with stakeholders to develop guidelines and regulations that provide comfortable, safe, and responsible environments for their community.

As active participants in local, national, and international lighting standards and regulation, we are leading the lighting industry in improving visibility and visual comfort while using less energy and moving toward net-zero energy and regenerative designs. Our commitment and knowledge is recognized by our leadership roles in organizations such as the Illuminating Engineering Society, US Green Building Council, WELL Building Institute, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, General Services Administration, and the California Energy Commission.
