SUSTAINABILITY
The New HVN represents a once in a generation opportunity to reduce HVN’s carbon footprint
and position the airport as one of the most sustainable regional airports in the world. To
accomplish these goals, we’ll invest in:
The New HVN represents a once in a generation opportunity to reduce HVN’s carbon footprint and position the airport as one of the most sustainable regional airports in the world. To accomplish these goals, we’ll invest in:
LEED CONSTRUCTION
Moving the current terminal and building a new one provides an opportunity to use the latest construction technology and meet LEED construction standards for energy conservation.
CARBON NEUTRAL TERMINAL
Utilizing these new construction techniques will allow for a new terminal that is completely carbon neutral, providing high efficiency climate control systems, renewable energy sources, and reengineered waste and recycling programs as the airport seeks to develop a comprehensive and holistic approach to sustainability.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT IMPACTS
HVN will undertake an environmental assessment process that will outline the environmental impact of the expansion, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural, and human health impacts. This report will provide a clear road map to help us develop mitigation techniques that protect the surrounding environment and the quality of life for residents living near HVN.
Environmental Assessment Update
The Federal Aviation Administration has found that HVN's expansion plans will cause no significant environmental impacts, and can therefore proceed.
