Energy
Energy powers every corner of our airport from air conditioning and lighting to electric vehicles and systems that keep people and baggage moving. In a high-demand, desert environment, managing energy is critical to keeping operations reliable, costs manageable and carbon emissions impact low. That’s why we’re focused on reducing energy demand, increasing efficiency and generating renewable energy. These upgrades not only protect the environment, but they also create more comfortable terminals, support reliable operations and help keep energy costs in check, benefits travelers and our business partners will feel every day.
Highlights:
- Solar panels installed across airport facilities are generating renewable electricity on site, with more installations planned to increase renewable energy production and enhance resiliency.
- New and renovated buildings are designed with energy efficiency as a priority, incorporating features like daylighting, smart controls and high-performance systems.
- Existing facilities are being upgraded with energy conservation measures, including efficient equipment, optimized building controls using machine learning and artificial intelligence and LED lighting to reduce energy use.
- We continue to conduct audits to identify new opportunities to reduce energy and improve efficiency. In parallel, a comprehensive Electric Utility Master Plan is being developed to guide long-term planning.
