Lighting and advanced lighting controls across Stanford Health Care

Fourteen facilities in five cities, from a single primary-care clinic to the main hospital campus. Each one competed for and won separately — sixteen awards in twenty-two months — and every site stayed open the whole time.

The program

It started with one clinic.

Stanford Health Care first engaged EverWatt in October 2024 for a single primary-care clinic in Palo Alto. Twenty-two months later the program covers the main hospital campus, the cancer center, the outpatient pavilions, the eye and ear institutes, clinical pathology, regional clinics and administrative space. Two of the largest sites — the Cancer Center and Stanford Hospital — came back for a second phase after the first was delivered.

The work is full LED conversion paired with advanced lighting controls: networked, addressable Lutron control at the main hospital campus, and occupancy, vacancy and daylight-responsive platforms matched to each of the other facilities. All of it delivered under healthcare infection-control and life-safety requirements, with the utility incentive process carried by EverWatt on the owner's behalf.

Program scope

Three disciplines, one accountable party.

Advanced lighting controls

Networked, addressable control at the main hospital campus (Lutron). Occupancy, vacancy and daylight response by space type. Dimming and scene control in clinical and public areas. Controls commissioned and documented on every site.

LED conversion

Troffers, downlights, linear and specialty fixtures. Exterior, parking-structure and site lighting. Emergency lighting and battery drivers. Color and output selected for clinical environments.

Healthcare delivery

Infection-control protocols and ICRA permits. Phased and after-hours work in occupied departments. Joint Commission life-safety and egress requirements. Utility incentive documentation carried for the owner.

The facilities

Fourteen sites, five cities.

The Cancer Center and Stanford Hospital each returned for a second phase of work.

What the program demonstrates

Sixteen awards, each won on its merits.

Range

The same team delivered a small administrative suite and the main hospital campus, regional clinics and specialty institutes, a parking structure and clinical laboratories.

Occupied healthcare delivery

Every site remained in operation: infection-control protocols, phased and after-hours work, emergency lighting continuity, Joint Commission requirements.

Local small business — all of it

Every trade on every site performed by a local small business, tracked and reported by EverWatt, a certified minority-owned business, against Stanford's community goals.

Advanced controls at scale

Networked lighting control at the main campus and control platforms matched to each facility elsewhere, all commissioned to the owner's standards.

One agreement

EverWatt as owner's representative, project developer, general contractor and energy services company, carrying the utility incentive process for each site.

A foundation for more

Fourteen facilities of lighting and controls is the first layer. The relationship, documentation and site knowledge extend directly to HVAC controls, building automation and electrification.
