The management of airport campus lighting continues to create maintenance and costs issues for growing regional airports across the U.S. Competition is fierce with the larger markets, the maintenance workforce is spread thin, and there is continued pressure to decrease operational costs that erode the bottom line. The Manchester-Boston Regional Airport invited LEDG to investigate the energy-efficient opportunities available in the main terminal area of the airport campus. It was then determined to take a systematic approach for tackling the multiple opportunities for energy and maintenance cost savings in the lighting and control system(s) in the main terminal building.

To accommodate their significant growth in size and passenger activity, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport added a 4,800 space customer parking garage to their campus. As the airport continued to grow in terminal capacity and available airlines, the facilities staff became increasingly challenged to keep up with the ongoing maintenance required for the parking garage lighting. The 400W metal halide fixtures that operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week required constant lamp replacement and created a huge waste in energy for the airport. The Manchester-Boston Regional Airport turned to Leading Edge Design Group to develop a customer LED lighting solution for the parking garage that would dramatically improve energy efficiency and drastically reduce the maintenance strain on their facilities staff.
