Sustainable Construction Practices in Aviation Facilities
Airport sustainable construction practices are becoming more popular and a necessity in every construction project in the United States (US) and around the world. Sustainability is no longer just a trend but a good engineering practice. The Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), like most airports in the US, has been applying sustainable design and construction practices to all its airport projects, airside and landside. FXE serves more than 160,000 aircraft operations per year and is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the United States and the 61st busiest airport overall. More than 700 aircraft, including 115 jets and 37 helicopters, make FXE their year-round home. Recently, FXE completed the construction of an aviation service and equipment facility that obtained the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certification from the US Green Building Council (USGBC). This paper will present the current sustainable practices implemented in the new construction of airport facilities at FXE as well as other airports around the US, including buildings and airfield pavement rehabilitation projects.
