The Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) is operated by Palm Beach County through the Department of Airports. PBIA is committed to enhancing the airport through sustainable products, especially in areas that reduce energy consumption, costs and maintenance expenses.
An energy audit was conducted by Florida-based Hillers Engineering to determine current usage and identify opportunities for efficiency. The airport’s arrival and departure roadway was identified for an efficiency upgrade. The roadway had 695 25-year-old 100W metal halide (HID) fixtures using approximately 66,000 kWh per month.
