This subjective element of the Lighting contest, worth a maximum of 75 points, evaluates electric lighting quality and daylighting. Points are awarded based on the elegance and quality of the lighting design during day and night. The objective portion of this contest, worth 25 points, measures lighting levels inside the house throughout the competition week. These results will be announced on Friday.

All three of the three Lighting jurors, Nancy Clanton, Naomi Miller, and Sandra Stashik, were on hand for the awards ceremony. "We were so impressed with what everyone did with their daylighting and electric lighting," said Stashik, who presented the awards. "We had a strong sense that you developed integrated lighting plans that worked both day and night."

The placings are:

University of Maryland: 1st place - 72.75 points
