Replacement of metal vapor lamps with LEDs
ABOUT IT
The company's project aims to systematically replace metal vapor lamps with Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps throughout the airport site. The action began in 2015 and is due to be completed by 2024, with a total of approximately 30,000 bulbs being replaced. The replaced metal vapor lamps are disposed of in a mercury decontamination and recovery process, as they are hazardous waste. The LED lamps, on the other hand, are sent as electronic waste for recycling and reuse, in accordance with Viracopos International Airport's Solid Waste Management Plan (PGRS).
Results and Objectives
- Promote a reduction or optimization in the energy consumption of the company's businesses and operations;
- It will be possible to reduce CO2 emissions by 67% as a result of this project;
- 19,892 metal vapor lamps were replaced by 10,006 LED lamps, resulting in a reduction of approximately 74% in energy consumption.
