TRB Webinar: Implementing Energy Efficient Technologies for Cost-Savings at Airports

TRB conducted a webinar on Thursday, February 11, 2016 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that featured research conducted by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) which provided guidance on energy efficient technologies for day-to-day airport operations and evaluate cost-savings of implementing and maintaining these technologies. Specifically, this webinar presented energy reduction technologies for escalators and moving walks, and performance of light-emitting diode (LED) airfield lighting systems.

Participants must register in advance of the webinar, and there is no fee associated with this webinar. This webinar will provide 1.5 Continuing Education Units for Accredited Airport Executives. This webinar has met approval by the American Institute of Certified Planners for 1.5 Certification Maintenance Credits.

Here are the slides from the presentations.
