Smart Innovative Lighting
Groupe ADP, in collaboration with lighting design experts Ingelux, has pioneered a cutting-edge lighting concept tailored specifically for airport terminals. This innovative Smart Lighting innovation project is set to transform airport terminal environments by boosting energy efficiency, enhancing architectural aesthetics, improving the passenger experience, and simplifying maintenance operations. This initiative underscores OLGA’s dedication to advancing sustainable and innovative solutions in airport infrastructure.

Objectives
The main aim of the Smart Innovative Lighting project is to revolutionize airport terminal environments.
The objectives of this innovation are to:
Reduce Energy Consumption: Improve energy performance by using a new generation of LEDs to lower CO2 emissions and support decarbonization projects. Employ materials with a positive carbon footprint, such as bioplastics, recycled plastics, 100% recycled aluminum, and fully recyclable components.
Highlight Architecture: Enhance the visibility of passenger terminal architecture through adaptable lighting configurations that suit various spatial and technical requirements, applicable to both new and rehabilitated projects.
Improve Passenger Experience: Adapt color temperature to circadian rhythms with Human-Centric Lighting (HCL) systems. This approach helps travelers adjust to different time zones, reduces jet lag, and enhances comfort. For employees with limited natural light exposure, HCL supports natural sleep-wake cycles, reduces fatigue, and boosts productivity.
Facilitate Maintenance Operations: Simplify maintenance with a focus on circular economy principles, reducing electronic components and extending their lifespan through a product life cycle analysis.
Progress
Experimental prototypes have been produced and are now installed at the train station (intermodal hub at Paris – Charles de Gaulle airport). Tests are underway to evaluate the quality of light, the perception of passengers and airport employees, the reduction in energy consumption, and maintenance operations. Once the architectural and technical assessment has been completed, the luminaire will enter the industrialization phase to be deployed in the renovation projects and creation of Groupe ADP's passenger terminals.
Different configurations are tested during this experiment:
Horizontal light lines
Rings of light
Vertical suspensions (chandeliers)
Key figures
Expected energy savings of 30% compared to conventional LED luminaires and 50% compared to fluorescent luminaires.
2 partner manufacturers for the creation and implementation of prototypes: SFEL and OPTELMA.
36 modules installed in the mobility hub for experimentation.
2 x 3 types of prototypes tested.
Maintenance cost divided by 2.
