Lee County Port Authority/Southwest Florida International Airport

Facing declining revenues, a hiring freeze, no raises and the addition of a new 798,000-square-foot terminal, the maintenance department needed to ensure customers would receive the same levels of quality with less dependence on outside vendor support and professional service contractors. Staff identified areas to improve operating efficiency and reduce costs, focusing on lighting retrofits, improvements to HVAC system controls, and the installation of additional air-temperature sensors.
