Cape Air & Barnstable Municipal Airport
About the Business
Since their first flight between Boston and Provincetown in 1989, Cape Air has provided year-round service to some of the most beautiful destinations in the world including Hyannis, Nantucket, New Bedford, Martha’s Vineyard, Providence, RI, South Florida, the Caribbean and Micronesia. The employee-owned company, based in Hyannis, Massachusetts, has grown from three flights a day between Provincetown and Boston in 1989 to 400 flights a day, and service to approximately 500,000 passengers annually as one of the largest regional airlines in the US. Cape Air operates a fleet of 76 Cessna 402s, 16 Tecnam P2012 Travelers and 4 Britten-Norman Islanders. Cape Air’s Sustainability program has received numerous awards, including the EPA’s Environmental Merit Award.
Project Highlights
Cape Air contacted Cape Light Compact looking to upgrade the lighting in their hanger located at the Barnstable Municipal Airport. The old lighting was inefficient and was lacking the brightness needed to allow the employees to have adequate light to perform their various duties including airplane maintenance. RISE Engineering did an assessment of the building and ended up installing approximately 500 LED lamps, fixtures and occupancy sensors. The new lights allow for a much brighter work environment. Pair that with the 103,488 kWh saved annually and this project made for a win-win.
