Promoting Energy Efficiency In Airports

Authors

  • Shirley Jean Bergman

Abstract

Traditional energy services providers have largely underserved
airports. This is especially true for small to mid-size facilities and gen-
eral aviation sites. Reasons for this include the complexity of airport
ownership and management, strict FAA (Federal Aviation Admin-
istration) oversight, and the availability of funding paths for capital
improvements. This article is intended to educate the energy services
professional to the basic terminology specific to airport facilities and
identify some typical opportunities for energy efficiency improvements
