Energy efficiency is the key to our future. The Sustainability Project at Miami International Airport (MIA) is part of a large-scale energy and water conservation effort by Florida Power & Light (FPL) Services and the Miami-Dade Aviation Department. This project is one of the largest energy performance contracts ever undertaken in Florida and includes the installation of energy-efficient lighting, water conservation retrofits, air conditioning and ventilation upgrades, and other innovative solutions to optimize energy management. Beginning in 2005 and over the next 14 years, the project will generate more than $40 million in energy and water savings for Miami International Airport.
