This is primarily an internal management program for NYSDOT to measure our performance, recognize good practices, and identify where we need to improve. It also provides the Department with a way to demonstrate to the public how we are advancing sustainable practices. NYSDOT project designs and operations are evaluated for sustainable practices and based on the total credits received, an appropriate certification level is assigned. The rating system recognizes varying certification levels, with the highest level going to designs and operational groups that clearly advance the state of sustainable transportation solutions.

Each project takes a unique focus on the audience that occupies the building and lessons about sustainability to be learned by all ages. The concepts for educating the public about sustainability by using the building itself as a teaching tool can be applied to marketing sustainable practices and technologies in airports.

A central atrium acts as the fresh air supply, which is conditioned in the basement level ceiling plenum space. The atrium uses the stack effect to draw conditioned air upwards to the floors. Each floor has windows hydraulically controlled by the BAS to open when that particular floor needs to draw conditioned air from the atrium. Air is captured and recycled at the top floor and sent back down to the basement through integrated building ducts. The passive techniques are finely tailored for the Midwestern climate, making for a highly efficient facility.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 80: Guidebook for Incorporating Sustainability into Traditional Airport Projects describes sustainability and its potential benefits, and identifies different applications of sustainable initiatives in traditional airport construction and everyday maintenance projects.

The printed version of the report includes a CD-ROM that includes an airport sustainability assessment tool (ASAT) that complements the guidebook and may be used to assist in identifying sustainability initiatives that might be most applicable to an airport project. Through case studies, the tool also allows users to obtain more information about specific strategies and learn about sustainability initiatives that have been implemented in other airports. The case studies are also available for download in PDF format.

The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website in two formats, either as an Excel file or an ISO image.

Download the Excel file here.
