A typical large airport uses as much energy as 50,000 households annually. From powering terminal buildings to operating crucial navigation systems, running baggage handling equipment to maintaining comfortable climate control, airports represent some of the most energy-intensive facilities in the transportation sector.
The economics of airport solar installations present many benefits: Initial Investment Recovery: Large airports investing $15-25 million in solar infrastructure typically achieve complete payback within 5-8 years. Factors affecting recovery include local utility rates, available incentives, and system efficiency ratings.
From powering terminal buildings to operating crucial navigation systems, running baggage handling equipment to maintaining comfortable climate control, airports represent some of the most energy-intensive facilities in the transportation sector. The numbers tell a compelling story.
Airports may be constructed with self-regulating materials that adjust their thermal and optical properties in response to environmental changes. These materials could reduce heating and cooling needs by 70% while maintaining optimal indoor conditions.
