Swap the sanctuary and hallway lighting to LED at Masjidul Waritheen

The prayer hall and hallways at Masjidul Waritheen still run older fluorescent and incandescent fixtures that run five prayer times a day, every day. Standard: ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit + Living Building Challenge Energy petal screening. Proof: Before photo + fixture count/wattage + After photo of installed LED fixtures + Wattage-reduction note per fixture swapped Method (ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit, ~60-120 min): 1. Confirm the address; arrange a staff escort for mechanical/back-of-house. 2. Photograph HVAC, lighting, envelope, and any in-scope systems. 3. Inventory systems: HVAC type + age; lighting fixture count/type/wattage; refrigeration units; envelope condition. 4. Summarize 12 months of utility use (kWh / therms) from the bills. 5. Take the in-scope measurements (light levels, unit temperatures, seal condition). 6. Rank no-cost/low-cost measures, then capital measures, with rough savings logic. 7. Enter inventory, measurements, utility summary, photos, and the ranked measure list; sign. Equipment: tablet/clipboard, tape measure, light meter (lighting scope), clamp thermometer (refrigeration scope), 12-month utility bills, camera, ladder + spotter (high fixtures) Done when: System inventory complete for the in-scope equipment; 12-month utility use summary recorded; In-scope measurements recorded with units; Ranked no-cost/low-cost + capital measure list produced

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before photo + fixture count/wattage + After photo of installed LED fixtures + Wattage-reduction note per fixture swapped

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• tape measure
• light meter (lighting scope)
• clamp thermometer (refrigeration scope)
• 12-month utility bills
• camera
• ladder + spotter (high fixtures)

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the address; arrange a staff escort for mechanical/back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph HVAC, lighting, envelope, and any in-scope systems.
3. 3. Inventory systems: HVAC type + age; lighting fixture count/type/wattage; refrigeration units; envelope condition.
4. 4. Summarize 12 months of utility use (kWh / therms) from the bills.
5. 5. Take the in-scope measurements (light levels, unit temperatures, seal condition).
6. 6. Rank no-cost/low-cost measures, then capital measures, with rough savings logic.
7. 7. Enter inventory, measurements, utility summary, photos, and the ranked measure list; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Knob-and-tube, ungrounded or overheated wiring, scorched outlets, or a hot electrical panel -> STOP: do not operate the circuit; route to a licensed electrician and restrict use (NEC / fire hazard).
• Gas odor, or a combustion appliance with absent/blocked venting (backdrafting / CO risk) -> STOP: evacuate, ventilate, call the gas utility. The agent escalates, never relights or adjusts gas.
• Any live-electrical/gas hazard -> document, do not touch, flag for a licensed pro.
• Refrigeration unit out of food-safe range -> flag as both energy and food-safety risk.
• Suspected asbestos/lead in materials -> flag and stop.

What counts as done

• System inventory complete for the in-scope equipment
• 12-month utility use summary recorded
• In-scope measurements recorded with units
• Ranked no-cost/low-cost + capital measure list produced

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
