India’s Airport Boom Embraces Green Building

 

Green building techniques are increasingly becoming the norm worldwide, especially on large, government-affiliated projects, and India’s new airports show evidence of this trend. Of course, air travel is the most carbon-intensive form of transportation, so an airport boom can’t be considered good for the environment. But if new airports are to be built, and India clearly needs them, they might as well be as green as possible.

Terminal 3 at New Delhi’s airport opened in July 2010 and was the world’s first — and largest — terminal building to win green building’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold certification. It earned the label by meeting standards developed by the Indian Green Building Council, the local chapter of U.S. Green Building Council, which created LEED standards. The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad also won a LEED-Silver rating.

New Delhi’s Terminal 3 green provisions include:

  • Day lighting.
  • A/C set a bit warm; no sweaters required!
  • Use of construction materials with recycled content and recycling of construction waste.
  • Use of alternative vehicles such as battery operated and CNG, supported by electric charging stations and a CNG refuelling station.
  • A metro line to provide public transit to the airport.
  • Water management through rainwater harvesting and storm water absorption; on-site, reverse-osmosis treatment for drinking water; and on-site wastewater treatment and reuse for toilet flushing, A/C units, horticulture, and construction
  • Waste recycling “if it makes ecological and economic sense.”
  • Noise abatement via acoustically treated buildings and other measures.
  • Air-quality management with measures to reduce emissions from aircraft, vehicles, auxiliary power units (APUs) and ground power units (GPU).

    At 5.4 million square feet, Delhi’s Terminal 3 is among the largest buildings in the world. Its new runway and two terminals were built at an amazing pace and took 37 months from start to finish.
