... Although this report primarily addresses short payback, low-cost improvements, it is important to note that major, infrequent retrofit projects such as air handlers and boilers can also bring dramatic cost savings. WAYS TO IDENTIFY ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTS O&M is a primary and cost-effective way airports can identify areas for energy efficiency improvements; however, commissioning and energy audits by local utilities also play a major role.

... Energy Management Plan In addition to typical plans and planning processes, a number of larger airports have dedicated energy management plans. A comprehensive energy management plan can describe energy efficiency measures to implement, promoting those measures with the highest rate of return and energy savings that will meet the facility's specific operational needs.
