Country India
Abstract This paper investigates the sustainability practices at major Indian airports, particularly focusing on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai and Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in Delhi. Both airports have launched a range of green building initiatives to lessen their environmental impact and promote a more sustainable aviation industry. These measures include:
Energy-Efficient Design: The architectural and operational designs of these airports integrate advanced energy-saving technologies. For instance, CSMIA and IGIA incorporate natural lighting, efficient heating and cooling systems, and smart automation to reduce energy consumption. These designs not only minimize their energy use but also create a comfortable environment for passengers and employees.
Renewable Energy Adoption: Both airports are progressively incorporating renewable energy sources to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Solar power installations at these airports are a significant part of their renewable energy strategy, contributing to a cleaner energy mix. This approach aligns with India's push for renewable energy in infrastructure and supports the national agenda of reducing carbon emissions.
International Environmental Standards: The airports comply with globally recognized standards, such as those set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Airports Council International (ACI). These standards guide environmental management, including waste reduction, water conservation, and emissions control, ensuring that the airports' operations have minimal environmental impact.
Sustainability Goals: By implementing these initiatives, CSMIA and IGIA are making strides toward carbon neutrality and promoting the broader goals of India's green aviation industry. These efforts contribute to national and international sustainability goals, including the Paris Agreement targets, and align with India's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in various sectors, including aviation.
Overall, the sustainability efforts of CSMIA and IGIA reflect the Indian aviation sector's transformation toward more eco-friendly practices. These airports serve as models for other facilities in India, demonstrating how large-scale infrastructure projects can integrate green building practices and support a sustainable future.
