Was it required by DC building code? Or did you install it after move-in because of the frequency of power outages in the DC area? Eastern Village doesn't have any sort of backup for emergency lighting. Must not be in the Montgomery County (MD) building code. It was a real problem during a multi-day outage several years because the interior stairways don't have windows. Before I left EVC, I was talking to Stan (the TVC and EVC reserve study expert) about a solar-powered battery backup system that would provide long-term power for a handful of emergency functions -- a few outlets for recharging things and running a fridge, one heat pump for emergency heat in the CH, emergency lights in the stairs, running a pump that prevents flooding in heavy rain, etc. Maybe you guys should consider something like that.
