2012 ITH Sustainable Airport Master Plan
When people think of “green” infra- structure, they rarely think of aviation. Airplanes and related operations activities are often viewed as significant sources of air emissions and other negative environmental impacts.
In 2012 ITH created a sustainability master plan. To incorporate sustainability into the traditional master plan process, the team established sustainability goals and set targets at an initial kickoff meeting with stakeholders. Areas addressed were:
- Air quality and climate change
- Energy conservation and renewable energy
- Materials use and waste reduction and recycling
- Hazardous materials management and remediation
- Land and natural resources management
- Noise abatement
- Surface transportation management
- Water quality protection and water conservation
- Buildings and facility management and opera- tions
- Socioeconomic bene ts and community out- reach/involvement
- Land use
