Airports & Transportation

Increasing air travel means more and larger airports and greater environmental impact. However airports are transitory spaces with areas unoccupied for considerable periods of time so the environmental impact can be lessened by strategic management of lighting.

Within an airport environment a lighting management system can achieve considerable energy savings. Large amounts of natural lighting mean daylight-linked switching and dimming can achieve major reductions in energy usage, while lighting and other services including heating & cooling in departure gates and other areas of intermittent use areas can be linked to occupation. To further focus attention on energy conservation, energy monitoring enables individual airlines to be billed for their portion of energy consumption within departure areas.

Key system features within airports and transport hubs include:

• Architectural dimming and scene setting (for aesthetic effect)
• Central manual control
• Daylight linking
• Emergency lighting test and monitoring
• Hours run logging
• Individual circuit control
• Individual luminaire control
• Lamp failure detection
• Movement/Presence detection
• Solar control of external lighting
• Time scheduling
