Sustainable Airport Operations Comprehensive Environmental Sustainability Plan Sustainability Goal : Minimize the Environmental Footprint of SFO and Become Carbon Neutral by 2020 Review All Operations and Practices Develop Guidelines, Standards, and Directives for Sustainable: Planning, Design, and Construction: Achieve LEED Certification Materials Procurement: Green Products, Recycled Materials Environmental Resource Conservation: Automated Computer Shut Off\; (500 TPY at 150 watt bulb rate) Operations & Maintenance: Minimize Idling of Vehicles Airline & Tenant Operations (through Lease Agreements) 25
SFO Wastewater Treatment Plant 26
SFO Carbon Neutral by 2020 There will always be some carbon emitted continuously reduce. Key benefit for SFO is our use of Hetch Hetchy power (5 10% PG&E) Seek to utilize alternative fuels: CNG, Electric, solar, and new technology Utilize creative carbon reduction plans
