Eco Friendly Glasgow

Eco friendly Glasgow -With quite a few negative reports recently on the airport and how it has in some ways deteriorated, it's nice to come across a good positive where new LED floodlights for the airfield will result in 25 percent efficiency.

A project is underway to swap the LED floodlights at Glasgow Airport’s airfield with a more sustainable model that is 25% more energy efficient.

Glasgow became the first airport in the world to upgrade to a fully LED-lit apron in compliance with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). At the time, the move away from high-pressure sodium apron lighting improved energy efficiency by 60%.
