Airport Energy Management — Terminal, Airside & Tenant Metering

EC.DATA provides airports with full-building energy visibility from landside terminal HVAC to airside ground-support equipment — enabling kWh-per-passenger benchmarking, tenant cost recovery, and demand charge management.

Airport Energy Challenges

  • No visibility into energy consumption by terminal, pier, or cost centre
  • Baggage handling conveyor and belt systems running 24/7 at full power regardless of flight load
  • Terminal HVAC poorly reset for seasonal and occupancy variation
  • 400 Hz ground power unit (GPU) energy invisible to billing
  • Airfield ground lighting (AGL) current regulator (CCR) efficiency unknown
  • Tenant energy reconciliation is manual and disputed

EC.DATA Airport Solutions

  • EC.Billing: automated tenant and concession sub-metering with invoice generation
  • EC.PQ: substation power quality monitoring for sensitive airside equipment
  • EC.EMS: baggage handling and HVAC energy benchmarking by terminal and shift
  • EC.IoT: ground-power unit and boarding-bridge energy monitoring
  • EC.GAIA: predictive HVAC scheduling based on flight manifest occupancy forecasts
  • kWh-per-passenger and kWh-per-ATM KPI dashboards for management reporting

Airports: metering the invisible 40%

In most airports, 30–40% of electricity is consumed by systems that have no energy meter — baggage belts, jetbridges, GPU circuits, AGL CCRs, and tenant retail units all run on shared feeders with no allocation. EC.DATA's airport solution instruments these circuits with CT-based sub-meters connected via EC.Node, then applies tariff-aware allocation rules to generate tenant invoices and management KPIs. The result is a live kWh-per-passenger dashboard that operations and sustainability teams can use to set targets and measure initiatives.
