Sustainable Initiatives at ATL

New International Terminal LEED Gold International Terminal: 1.2 million square feet Low flow rest room fixtures Preferred parking for AFV Efficient heating and cooling system Electric charging stations Water reclamation system

Garage Lighting Retrofit Outcomes: Reduce parking garage electricity use by 58% Previous usage = 210 W/fixture Present usage = 80 W/fixture Savings = $418,000/year Payback period = 3.5 years Cell Phone Waiting Lot Motorists park for free 160 parking spaces along South Terminal Parkway Reduce traffic congestion Replaced all garage lighting 4,342 extant metal-halide fixtures Consumes about 210w/fixture

Wetland Mitigation 56-acre site Certified wildlife habitat Walking trail Observation decks Bird sanctuary Open to the public Restored 56-acre site just south of Airport Certified wildlife habitat; half-mile walking trail; three observation decks; bird sanctuary Free and open to the public

Water Conservation Annual Savings since 2008: Over 55 million gallons Urinal and toilet retrofits Reclaimed groundwater Heating and cooling changes Rainwater Harvesting

LED Lighting 3,000 LED edge, centerline, and guard lights installed LED on all new or reconstructed taxiways

Sky Train Opened 2009 Eliminated rental car shuttles on terminal area roads

Sustainable Management Plan

Sustainable Management Plan: Purpose Develop roadmap to: Reduce energy consumption Reduce environmental impacts Become a better neighbor FAA provides AIP funding for studies that address sustainability as a core objective in long-range planning Roadmap to identify ways to: Reduce energy consumption Reduce environmental impacts Become a better neighbor

Sustainable Management Plan: Project Scope Define sustainability categories Include baseline inventory of natural resource usage Establish measurable goals and identify initiatives to minimize impact or consumption

Sustainable Management Plan: Goals Integrate sustainability as a core principle in all planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance Identify and adopt strategies for reducing the environmental footprint, ensuring economic stability Foster employee engagement, stakeholder involvement, and community partnerships in all decision-making and development

Sustainable Management Plan: Targets GOALS Integrate sustainability as a core principle in all planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance Identify and adopt strategies for reducing environmental footprint, ensuring economic stability Foster employee engagement, stakeholder involvement, community partnerships in all decision-making and development Green Construction Policy Green Procurement Policy Zero Waste Policy Policy Green procurement language in service and construction bids Supply chain validation Surplus materials sharing Procurement Green procurement language in concessions, construction bids(e.g., require low emission construction equipment, use of materials that are compostable, recyclable, or have high recycled content

Sustainable Management Plan: Targets GOALS Integrate sustainability as a core principle in all planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance Identify and adopt strategies for reducing environmental footprint, ensuring economic stability Foster employee engagement, stakeholder involvement, community partnerships in all decision-making and development LEED for new construction Deconstruction (not demolition) Construction Energy conservation Water conservation Waste reduction Emissions reduction Operations & Maintenance Green procurement language in concessions, construction bids(e.g., require low emission construction equipment, use of materials that are compostable, recyclable, or have high recycled content

Sustainable Management Plan: Results

Vision for the Future

Next Steps: Zero Waste Zone Recycling and education center kiosks in airport concourses, terminals City-wide policy on deconstruction versus demolition Compostable collection from the concourses Desk-side Recycling Shuttle bus mega car pools Recycling and education center kiosks in airport concourses, terminals Liquid removal from waste stream at security check points City-wide policy on deconstruction versus demolition Compostable collection from the concourses Also: Food production adjacent to population base Mega hydroponic greenhouse adjacent to waste-to-energy or anaerobic digestion facility Explore industry standards and metrics ACRP’s project 02-15 Recycling Strategies for the Airport Industry Taxi and consolidated shuttle conversion to CNG Environmental Service Companies (ESCO) Standard Services Investment grade energy audit Comprehensive project design & engineering Sources of tax-exempt project financing Training for building operating staff Equipment acquisition
