21 - Goals 1,500,000 kwh reduction = approximately $133,000 savings

22 GHGs include: Carbon dioxide (CO2); Methane (CH4); Nitrous oxide (N2O); Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6); Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC); and Perfluorocarbons (PFC) AIR QUALITY & GHG EMISSIONS GHG Emission Inputs: Total aircraft, passenger, and cargo operations; Fuel use by airport and tenant vehicles; Electricity purchased by the airport operator and tenants; Aircraft taxi and APU usage times and engine run-ups; Glycol (deicing fluid) use; and Landside traffic estimates of passenger and staff ground access.

23 AIR QUALITY & GHG EMISSIONS Emission Scopes: 1. Direct emissions from sources owned/controlled by the Aviation Department (maintenance equipment/heating systems that burn natural gas or oil) 2. Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by the Aviation Department (electricity acquired to power Sunport facilities) 3. Indirect emissions occur at sources owned and controlled by another party (aircraft-related emissions and tenant-related activities) GHG Emissions Summary Source CO 2e CO 2e % Scope 1 2, % Scope 2 9, % Scope 3 94, % Total 105, %

24 AIR QUALITY & GHG EMISSIONS POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: Continue to replace incandescent and quartz airfield lighting fixtures with LED fixtures to reduce energy consumption Consider installation of pre-conditioned air at each aircraft boarding gate. These systems heat or cool air, depending on the season, that is delivered directly to aircraft during boarding and deplaning. These systems can reduce fuel use, which in turn reduces emissions. Promote the reduction or elimination of idling by automobiles in an around the Sunport. Voluntary idling results in unnecessary carbon emissions. As vehicles and equipment in the Sunport and tenant fleet are retired, promote purchase of replacement units powered with alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG); and Create an energy audit program for tenants to identify opportunities for energy use reductions.

28 WATER CONSERVATION AND WATER QUALITY POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: Expand fixture replacement to all outdated fixtures. Install sub-metering for concessionaires, cooling equipment, restrooms, and irrigation on mixed use meters to provide information for better measurement and management of water usage. Convert to reclaimed water for irrigation use (cost of reclaimed water is 80 percent of potable water). An existing reclaimed water pipeline is located next to or within 500 feet of nine irrigation meters. Convert cool season turf (high water user) areas to more efficient warm season turf. Implement both low impact development (LID) and green infrastructure techniques. LID techniques include: curb cutting between paved and landscaped areas, infiltration trenches, stormwater harvesting and reuse. These will result in improved stormwater runoff quality as well as reduced water use for landscape irrigation. Disconnect unused water meters. Five meters are currently unused and accrue over $4,800 in fees each year.

32 Personal Vehicle Vehicle Parking Lot: 11,233 total spaces (passenger/employees) No priority parking for lowemission vehicles/carpooling Cell phone lot available. Taxi/Shuttle/Rental Traditional cab services App-based (Uber) 10 Rental Car Companies

33 SURFACE TRANSPORTATION POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: Expand on-site bicycle facilities for public use and coordinate with the City to connect the terminal to the citywide bicycle trails and paths. Monitor the BICI pilot bike share project and promote the Sunport as a future expansion site. Promote bicycling to Sunport employees by providing end-of-trip facilities including employee showers, lockers, and bicycle parking. Provide priority parking locations to carpools/vanpools and alternatively fueled vehicles. Promote the City s carpool matching service to employees and travelers on the Sunport website. Post no-idling signage at the terminal curb and in the cell phone waiting lot to reduce vehicle emissions. Incentivize employee use of public transit by subsidizing bus passes. Install on-site EV charging stations and explore adding an alternative fuel station (bio-diesel, CNG, LNG, propane, hydrogen). Coordinate with various City departments to update the Albuquerque Comprehensive On-Street Bicycle Plan, which was adopted in Utilize social media and other public outlets and media to promote the use of public transit or cycling to/from the Sunport.

34 NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Procurement: City s Central Purchasing Office is purchasing authority for the Sunport. Capital Implementation Program Division handles major construction and architectural and engineering services. Aviation Department has authority to expend up to $500 without processing through Purchasing Division. >$500 up to $10,000 require oral quotations. >$10,000 requires formal competitive process. Local and/or small businesses are awarded a 5% preference towards their proposal. Green Cleaning: Aviation Department has received Green Clean Institute (GCI) certification. All Sunport custodial supervisors are certified Green Clean Technicians Utilize Activeion Ionator EXP devices that eliminate the need for traditional chemical-based cleaners. Uses tap water to sanitize surfaces. Aviation Custodial has converted to 100% recycled paper towels.

35 NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Construction Management: City s Uniform Administrative Code serves as minimum standards regarding construction at the Sunport. Code does not include specific green building practices or policies. Sunport contractors typically recycle materials (especially concrete and asphalt) when economically feasible. Potential Opportunities for Performance Improvement Coordinate with the Purchasing Division to establish a Green Procurement Program. An emphasis should be placed on purchasing materials with recycled content and on locally sourced materials. Establish a paper conservation program within the Aviation Department. Modify procurement specifications to require equipment purchases are Energy Star certified when practicable. Utilize the FAA s VALE program to transition to low-emission fleet vehicles when practicable. Expand records to monitor expenses dispersed to locally based vendors and suppliers and for materials with recycled content. These are key performance indicators (KPIs) that should be monitored on a regular basis to track green procurement initiatives. Commit to the City s Green Path Program for future new construction and major renovations of Sunport facilities.

36 NEXT STEPS Establish Sustainability Goals and Objectives Goals will be more general in nature and relate to the sustainability categories included in the baseline assessment Objectives will be specific efforts towards achieving goals Develop Alternatives Screening Criteria Identify and evaluate candidate sustainability initiatives Consistent with the Sunport s Sustainability Policy Statement Evaluated based upon construction costs, operational costs, level of staff effort, and contribution towards sustainability goals and objectives Develop performance targets for future tracking of sustainability performance Includes the identification of performance metrics for Aviation Department use to track performance
