Energy-Efficient LED Lighting Solutions Help Denver and Detroit Airports Win Three Lighting Energy Efficient in Parking Campaign Awards

Recently, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Alliance’s Lighting Energy Efficient in Parking (LEEP) Campaign recognized the Denver International Airport (DIA) and Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) for upgrading its parking garage lighting with Eaton’s light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires. Eaton’s luminaires upgraded nearly 11 million square feet of parking garages at the airports with its advanced LED technologies, resulting in energy and maintenance savings of nearly $1.5 million annually.

The DIA’s recent lighting conversion with Eaton’s McGraw-Edison Valet and Ventus luminaires was awarded a 2015 “Exemplary Airport Parking Facility” honor and the DTW facility, which was also upgraded with Valet luminaires, received two awards, the “Highest Absolute Annual Savings in a Retrofit at a Single Parking Structure” and the “Largest Portfolio-wide Annual Absolute Energy Savings” awards.

The DIA’s lighting upgrade of more than 5,400 lighting products in its east and west parking garages with Eaton’s LED fixtures is helping the airport to save approximately $286,000 annually or $5.7 million over 20 years, while providing brighter and more evenly lit garages. The DTW conversion of the McNamara Terminal Parking Structure and Blue Deck consisted of replacing 6,050 existing garage fixtures, resulting in a 66 percent reduction in power consumption with an anticipated overall energy and maintenance savings of approximately $1.2 million annually.
