An airport’s energy service from the grid may be vulnerable to increasing demands and costs and the potential for short- or long-term disruptions caused by natural and human-caused events. Developing an airport energy resiliency roadmap allows the airport to establish a baseline of its energy use, supply, and vulnerabilities; set goals and related strategies in concert with stakeholder input to address its energy resiliency; and prioritize and integrate the strategies into other airport planning processes, including funding plans.
ACRP Research Report 260: Airport Energy Resiliency Roadmap, a pre-publication draft from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides the step-by-step process for airport staff and stakeholders to develop a customized plan for their airport and to provide data to the airport’s decision-makers to generate support for the implementation.
