Energy Efficiency at Manchester Airport

Manchester Airport is the UK’s number two airport, handling almost 20 million passengers each year to 200 destinations around the world. Terminal 2, opened in 1993, was recently refurbished with new DALI LED lighting throughout the building, to reduce energy consumption and improve the experience for passengers.

Calon worked with leading system integrator Building Environment Controls to deliver a state-of–the-art DALI lighting control system, supplying L-DALI ME204 controllers linked to DALI sensors for occupancy and constant-light control.  The lighting controls are integrated via BACnet to the airport’s BMS and flight control systems, to automatically configure the lighting at each departure gate according to the flight departure and arrival schedules, time of day, and ambient light level.
