The Guglielmo Marconi Airport in Bologna aimed to modernize its lighting system to improve energy efficiency, safety, and passenger comfort. The airport, a crucial hub in Italy, serves millions of passengers and supports thousands of businesses, necessitating a high-quality lighting solution. The project sought to meet the needs for sustainable lighting while enhancing the airport’s operational efficiency and ensuring a pleasant environment for travelers.
Product
Lighting Solution
The lighting solution was designed to reduce energy consumption, enhance visibility, and integrate seamlessly with the airport’s architecture. The goal was to create an energy-efficient, safe, and aesthetically pleasing lighting system using advanced technologies. By incorporating efficient control systems and modern fixtures, the lighting setup ensures high performance while minimizing operational costs.
Products and Benefits
Key products used included the Thorn Altis LED Floodlights, which provided powerful illumination for large outdoor areas, ensuring high safety standards and energy savings. Additionally, Thorn Aeraflood Pro floodlights were employed for precise light distribution, reducing light spill and enhancing passenger comfort. Together, these solutions contributed to lower energy consumption and reduced CO₂ emissions, supporting the airport's sustainability objectives.
“I would certainly undertake the same project again without changing anything, as the result was excellent, also validated by the ENAC certification obtained without any modifications to the project received from Thorn.”
