Pleasantville CSD Seeks Guidance for Lighting in School Buildings
Pleasantville Schools requests some guidance on lighting in school buildings. Their question is the following:
“Who has retrofitted the lighting in their buildings and who did the work for you? Pleasantville is looking to reduce energy costs by moving from T-12 to T-8 lights and ballasts and they would like to know who does that type of work in the Central Iowa area.”If you are able to provide some insight, please contact Bob Miller, Pleasantville Superintendent, at bmiller@pleasantville.k12.ia.us.
