Newsletter Prepared by Ricondo & Associates, Inc.

Dear Colleagues,

Happy New Year to all! As 2015 wound to a close, the Sustainability Working Group (SWG)

was busy on a wide range of initiatives. First off, we finished the year with strong

engagement from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC); along with the USGBC we are

developing programming that will be of use to airport LEED practitioners.

We are continually encouraged by the great news conveyed in this newsletter about ACI

members’ sustainability reporting, energy efficiency and renewable energy projects,

innovative community engagement practices, and other exciting projects.

We had an excellent and collaborative session at the ACI‐NA Annual Conference &

Exhibition in Long Beach, California, in October 2015. The session helped craft our group's

mission and goals for the coming year. In addition to our ongoing mission to disseminate

information on sustainability activities and best practices, we agreed to work to align ACI‐

NA’s understanding and adoption of sustainable practices with that of its members. Given

that many airports treat sustainability as a cross‐functional priority, two short‐term actions

were identified to advance this alignment:

1. Short term sustainability action items, such as sustainable conference initiatives

2. Global Reporting Initiative Materiality Assessment for ACI‐NA, to understand the

internal strategic priorities of ACI‐NA staff and members

These first two steps could lead to long term actions, creating cross‐committee

sustainability working groups, integrating sustainability into the organizational mission and

vision, and ultimately identifying specific sustainability goals for ACI‐NA.

In March, the working group leadership and ACI‐NA environmental affairs staff will be

hosting a 'lunch and learn' meeting for all ACI‐NA staff that will highlight some of our

member commitments to sustainability, the discussions among members that happened at

the Annual Conference, and introduce the idea of an organizational materiality

assessment. We look forward to continuing the dialogue and would appreciate your input!

Sharon Douglas, Sustainability Manager since 2011, developed ATL’s

first Sustainable Management Plan and monitors and reports on

performance. Sharon monitors resource usage, received a grant to

procure an all‐electric passenger shuttle bus, and has plans for a

community garden for employees at the airport’s engineering

building. Sharon earned Global Reporting Initiative B+ Certification

and is seeking Airport Carbon Accreditation for ATL. Through

Sharon’s efforts, ATL has received $1.4 million in VALE/ZEV funding

to obtain alternative fuel vehicles, including compressed natural gas

(CNG) shuttle buses for ATL park‐and‐ride lots. Sharon introduced

annual Earth Day celebrations and sustainability events such as the

GreeningATL Excellence Awards to educate and thank employees

and tenants for being part of the ATL sustainability movement.

Liza Milagro, Senior Sustainability Planner, joined the team in 2013

and has been non‐stop with events like the GreeningATL Excellence

Awards, EcoDistrict Day, and the annual Sustainable Food Court

Initiative (SFCI) Vendor Fair, which introduces concessionaires to

biopolymer food serviceware options. With her primary role as

“zero waste manager,” she authored the ATL Zero Waste Policy,

Construction Waste Management Plan, and is the architect of ATL’s

recycling program. Liza led the first airborne kitchen grease

recovery program using the grease‐lock filter system, earning the

2015 Environmental Leader of the Year Award. Liza introduced the

EPA Food Recovery Challenge to ATL concessionaires, with 17,000

pounds of foods returned to the community instead of ending up at

the landfill. Liza also introduced ATL’s newest interactive passenger

engagement feature: first‐of‐its‐kind piezoelectric photo booth

“selfie” stations. She is the only aviation contributor to the Ellen

MacArthur Foundation report, New Plastics Economy: Rethinking

the Future of Plastics. And, she’s planning a 30‐plus‐acre recycling

facility known as Green Acres ATL Energy Park, along with an

educational and entrepreneurial center. “This facility will support a

huge portion of Georgia’s regional efforts for composting and ATL’s

goal of diverting at least 90 percent of its waste from landfills.”

Polly Sattler, Senior Sustainability Planner and LEED Green

Associate, is the newest member to the ATL “Green Team.” Sattler

chairs ATL’s Airport EcoDistrict Transportation committee which

educates 60,000 airport employees on mass commuting options,

incentives for ride‐sharing and other environmentally friendly

transportation options. Sattler is working with ATL’s Fleet Services

Division to transition fleet vehicles to greener fuels and is leading

installation of 18 electric‐vehicle charging stations in the passenger

parking decks. Sattler co‐chairs the Sustainable Purchasing

Committee to incorporate sustainability criteria into procurement.

Settled by German immigrants from Iowa in 1857, Grand Island, Nebraska, stands at an intersection of rail, highway and runway. Providing air service dating back to the 1930s, the Central Nebraska Regional Airport (GRI) began steady growth in enplanements in 2008. With stagnant growth prior to that, the Grand Island community developed an airline incentive fund in 2006. With 8,000 enplanements in 2008, the airport secured Allegiant service to Las Vegas, adding Phoenix‐Mesa in 2009, and American Eagle service in 2011. GRI reached 65,000 enplanements in 2015.

What all this growth really means is that the existing terminal was woefully undersized. GRI decided to build a new terminal facility adjacent to the existing terminal. Airport Executive Director Mike Olson started at GRI in November of 2005 with a commitment to providing his traveling community with a best in class passenger experience. Knowing it would take years to build the case for a new terminal, he outlined his path to success: safety, customer service, sustainability and regional‐based design. The new terminal, scheduled to open March 23, 2016, is 34,000 square feet and unlike anything in the region.

The building form draws from the sawtooth roofs from historic manufacturing facilities. Its north‐facing glazing draws abundant

natural light without heat or glare issues. A geothermal ground source heat pump system provides warm floors throughout the building. Daylight sensors and building automation systems monitor the needs of the building during all hours and deliver energy only when needed. The predominant roof slope is south‐facing and is sized to ultimately provide enough photovoltaic solar panels to offset 25% of the building’s electrical load. The exterior is a combination of super‐insulated masonry and metal panel with high performance low E argon filled glazing with sunscreen/shades located depending on solar orientation.

The nearby Platte River provided inspiration for the patterned terrazzo flooring and local photographic artists were retained to provide large scale murals of surrounding landscapes. Wood accents with branded icons harken back to the cowboy past of the area. The vestibules and exterior canopies are timber framed from sustainably harvested forests and all landscape material is from native and adapted species suited for the Nebraska climate.

Nearing completion, the original mantra of economics, efficiency and elegance are coming to light. The surrounding community has long supported the airport. Now it is time to return the favor.

INVESTING FOR SUSTAINABILITY

• DEN’s Strategic Plan focuses on “Investing for Sustainability” –considering and integrating long‐term economic, social, and environmental impacts of decisions across all airport activities to bolster the community.

• Identifying and mitigating environmental impacts using one of the first ISO 14001‐certified Environmental Management Systems (EMS) to cover all airport operations.

• Iconic tent roof structure dramatically reduces the amount of electricity required to light the terminal.

• 400‐hertz power and pre‐conditioned air at all passenger gates.

• On‐site CNG stations annually distribute almost one million gallon‐equivalents of fuel in DEN’s buses and fleet vehicles.

• On‐site construction debris recycling yards.

DEICING FLUID RECYCLING LEADER

• Robust industrial stormwater system collects spent deicing fluid from centralized deicing pads and 350 acres of ramp areas, taxiways, and runways.

• Managed over 183 million gallons of stormwater and collected 70 percent of all deicing fluid that was sprayed in 2015.

• On‐site reclamation facility recycled more than 700,000 gallons of propylene glycol from spent deicing fluid, saving over $2 million during the 2014‐15 winter season.

GENERATE 16 MILLION KILOWATT HOURS (KWH)

OF SOLAR ENERGY ANNUALLY

• Commitment to solar energy began in 2008 with a two‐megawatt, single‐axis tracking photovoltaic system in a highly visible area just south of the terminal building.

• Three additional arrays have been constructed since 2008.

• DEN now hosts 10 megawatts of panels across 56 acres, designed to produce over 16 million kWh of clean electricity each year.

DEN is the fifth‐busiest airport in North America, serving over 54 million passengers in 2015. As the nation’s newest airport, which

celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015, DEN has the advantage of being designed in ways that support its sustainability goals. At 53

square miles, DEN is the second‐largest airport in the world by land mass, and our size, scale, and $26.3 billion impact to the regional

economy comes with a significant responsibility to operate in a sustainable manner. DEN is focused on maximizing innovation and

mitigating business risks by transitioning from a project‐based approach to more strategic integration of sustainability and business

intelligence using a management system framework.

DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (DEN)






BUILDING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

• New commuter rail line opening in April 2016 will provide a low‐carbon transportation option to connect DEN’s terminal and new LEED Certified Westin hotel to downtown Denver.

• Working with partners on three on‐airport rail stations, including a Transit‐Oriented Development called Peña Station NEXT that will include a 1.3 megawatt photovoltaic system on a DEN parking lot that feeds a battery‐powered microgrid.

• Partnering with Xcel Energy and Certifiably Green Denver, a local business outreach program, to provide sustainability and energy efficiency resources to airport concessions.

• Installing telematics technology on fleet vehicles to reduce idling, improve vehicle efficiency, and optimize preventative maintenance to reduce costs and emissions.

• Promoting asset management strategies that will improve efficiency of critical assets through a long‐term transition to predictive maintenance schedules.

NEW SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

• Expanding composting, diverting over 200 tons of food waste and paper towels from the landfill in 2015.

• Launched a food donation program that donated over 3,500 pounds of food in its first two months.

• Completing an LED retrofit of the parking garages, replacing 5,500 fixtures that will save $6.5 million over 20 years.

• Adding 20 electric vehicle charging stations to public garages.

• One of the first airports in North America to be certified in the Airport Carbon Accreditation program.

• Surface management system allows ramp controllers to view aircraft movements and flight plans in real time, reducing airline delays (and subsequent emissions) an average of 3.2 minutes per aircraft, saving $7.9 million in fuel costs during the 2014‐2015 winter season.

Chicago O’Hare International Airport’s Iconic LEED Gold (anticipated) South Airport Traffic Control Tower

SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION

To learn more, visit www.exp.com.

O’Hare’s South Airport Traffic Control Tower (SATCT), commissioned in

October 2015, provides both an iconic new image and innovative

sustainable systems and features. The ORD SATCT is anticipated to

become one of only three FAA control towers in the U.S. to achieve LEED

Gold (pending), and follows ORD’s North Air Traffic Control Tower, the first

airport tower to achieve LEED Silver.

At the heart of the design is the “inverted core” that moves the elevator

and stairs to the exterior of the structure and the equipment to the core, increasing accessibility for construction, operations,

and maintenance of building systems. The SATCT is

the first project at O’Hare to utilize a closed loop

geothermal system for cooling and heating. A

groundwater source heat pump provides chilled

water for cooling and hot water for heating. Thanks

to a variable air volume air handling unit (AHU) for

the base building, annual energy costs are reduced

14% compared to the baseline.

Included is a green roof and low‐flow plumbing

fixtures that reduce water use by 40%. Durable and

sustainable construction materials saved money in

initial costs and will translate into lower maintenance

costs. Some of the most important sustainable

features focused on the people who use the tower

every day. The design maximizes access to natural

light, individual environmental controls, a quiet

room, lounge, showers and even an outdoor patio.

As a testament to it’s design, the SATCT won the

ASHRAE Excellence in Engineering Award. The SATCT

has raised the bar for the design of future towers.

Environmental Goals Updated…Where’s Sustainability?

This past October during the ACI‐NA Annual Conference & Exhibition in Long Beach, California, the Board of Directors did something unexpected. Not only did they approve the updated Environmental Goals that the Environmental Affairs Committee had been working on since 2013, but they asked that the committee strengthen some of the goal statements! They removed words like “will strive” to

make the goals – while still voluntary – that much more forceful. The Board’s action demonstrated that airport leadership at the highest level recognizes the importance of environmental management for our industry’s ability to grow and serve our communities well into the future. The Board’s approval is an affirmation of our hard work!

The resulting nine recommended goals contain high level, aspirational goal statements with specific suggested actions that airports and ACI‐NA can take to help meet these goals. The goal areas include greenhouse gas reductions, noise, land use, local air quality, solid waste management, deicing runoff management, water conservation, energy conservation, and environmental management systems.

If you’re thinking “they forgot to include sustainability!” True enough, but hear us out. The committee decided not to develop a stand‐alone sustainability goal for three reasons: 1) Sustainability is much broader than just protecting the environment (our industry’s definition of sustainability has four components: Economic viability, Operational efficiency, Natural resource conservation and Social responsibility, or EONS); 2) The nine environmental goals themselves represent components of

environmental sustainability, so an overarching sustainability goal in this context would be redundant, and; 3) the SWG’s not‐so‐secret plan to elevate sustainability out of the environment committee is better served by addressing sustainability at the organizational level rather than the committee level.

Including sustainability as a stand‐alone environmental goal sends the wrong message that this is “just” an environmental issue. The SWG looks forward to continued discussions on how sustainability can be better addressed from the organization as whole.

Next, the committee is updating the Environmental Benchmarking survey to reflect the updated goals. The survey goes out this spring so we can take a snapshot of our members’ environmental initiatives and track implementation of the goals and suggested practices. Let’s increase airport participation by at least 25%; we urge all of our airport members to take the survey and help us track our progress! We hope you can join us in this effort!

2015 VALE and ZEV Grant Awards Recap and 2016 Grant Timeline

ATL Receives a Nearly $1 Million ZEV Grant to Acquire an Electric Bus and Supporting InfrastructureContributed by Sharon Douglas, Sustainability Manager, Hartsfield‐Jackson

Atlanta International Airport

Contributed by Patrick Magnotta (FAA APP‐400, FAA Office of Airports, Airport Planning

and Environmental)

The Fall 2015 edition of the SWG Newsletter reported that $24.5 million in FAA grants were awarded to 14 airports around the country in 2015. Refer to the Fall 2015 edition for a full listing of airport projects that received these grants. These grants were administered through the FAA’s Voluntary Airport Low Emissions (VALE) Program and the Zero Emissions Airport Vehicle (ZEV) and Infrastructure Pilot Program. The programs help public use airports in Environmental Protection Agency‐designated nonattainment and maintenance areas reduce their emissions and improve air quality. The call‐out box to the right outlines FAA’s timeline for selecting and issuing 2016 VALE and ZEV grants.

Under the ZEV Program, airport sponsors can use Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds for up to half the total project costs to purchase zero emission vehicles. Sponsors can also use federal funds to pay for infrastructure to facilitate fuel delivery and services for those vehicles. The FAA awarded $955,088 in ZEV grants in 2015 to two airports: Lambert‐St. Louis International Airport (STL) and Hartsfield‐Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). These were the first grants awarded under the ZEV program. The ATL ZEV grant, which received the majority ($926,789) of the total 2015 ZEV grant money ($955,088), is profiled below.

ATL has been awarded $926,789 to help fund the acquisition of an eco‐friendly, terminal‐to‐terminal electric bus that is anticipated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 273,000 pounds a year. The ZEV Program award will go toward the cost of acquiring the bus, associated charging equipment, and construction or modification of infrastructure to support program operations. The federal share of any ZEV Pilot Program project is 50 percent of the total project cost.

ATL is completing the procurement process as of February 2016. ATL’s electric bus will shuttle passengers from the domestic terminal to the international terminal on a 12‐mile roundtrip route. The 40‐foot bus will have quick‐charge capability, allowing the vehicle to operate 14‐16 hours a day. Hartsfield‐Jackson will obtain one bus for the initial project phase and will add additional buses in the future. The airport expects final selection of a bus manufacturer by the end of March.

Airports eligible for the ZEV grant include public use airports eligible for AIP grants in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). The ZEV funding source typically comes from AIP discretionary funding and is allocated on a priority basis.
