Arlanda wins prize for energy-efficient business model

The Swedish Civil Aviation Authority (LFV) and Arlanda Energi have been chosen
by the consulting engineering company Sweco to receive the 2009 Swedish Energy
Prize. In recent years the airport has reduced its energy consumption by one
fourth and the business model will now be spread to other airports seeking to
improve their energy-efficiency.


“We have focused determinedly on energy issues for several years and the results
speak for themselves. We have managed to reduce our heating and electricity
requirement by an amount of energy equal to that used by all of Landvetter
Airport, an mid-sized Swedish airport,” says Kent Arvidsson, President of
Arlanda Energi.

Arlanda Energi was established in 2006 to handle all energy-related matters at
the airport. A clearly goal-oriented approach and an active commitment on the
part of the management have contributed to the successful results. 

”Arlanda Energi has created a business model in which it has striven to optimise
operations, implement new technology and involve its employees as a means for
minimising the airport's environmental impact,” says Karin Annerwall Parö at
Sweco. 

Since 1984, Sweco has been presenting the Swedish Energy Prize to technical
ideas and innovations that have been tested in real life and proven effective in
saving energy. The year's prize will be awarded at the Museum of Modern Art in
Stockholm on 17 November during an inspiration day with a focus on
sustainability. 

The jury consists of: Carl-Erik Nyquist, Jury Chairman, Karin Annerwall Parö,
Sweco, Tomas Kåberger, Director General of the Swedish Energy Agency, Lars
Nilsson, Editor in Chief of Ny Teknik, Louise Trygg, Researcher in Linköping,
Lennart Jagemar, Associate Professor of Building Services Engineering, Per
Fahlén, Professor of Building Services Engineering and Lars Olof Matsson, Jury
Secretary, Sweco.
