Environmental concerns: Like many other infrastructures, airports are being asked to become environmentally friendly, leading to reduced noise, reduced exhausts and also energy savings
Profitability: Airport revenues are steadily switching from airline fees to receipts coming from passengers (shops, bars, restaurants and so on). As a consequence, passenger terminals must be attractive and efficient.
HVAC / lighting: Cooling and lighting the passenger terminals are the largest loads that airports watch carefully
Power availability: Because of obvious security reasons, it is mandatory that there are no disruptions for the control tower or the airfield ground lighting.
