Lime Energy has completion of the first phase of an energy efficiency retrofit of a major airline’s maintenance hangar at San Francisco International Airport. The project involved replacing nearly 500 lighting fixtures in offices and work areas. This project utilized strategically located sensors and daylight harvesting that will automatically turn lights off when the space is not in use or when there is enough sunlight to provide adequate natural lighting. Sensors are particularly important in this application because of the variable nature of the maintenance work performed in the hangar.
