The facility is claimed to be the first Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting facility at an international airport to secure the certification. The building has incorporated a host of green features such as installation of energy-efficient facilities which reaps energy cost cuts of 35% per year.
It has also been fitted with low-flow plumbing systems which reduce annual water usage by 39%. Water savings have further been achieved through utilisation of over 2000 gallons of reused water for dust control in place of potable water.
The facility has installed a high-performance heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit which resets temperatures to optimum efficiency while maintaining the comfort level of the building occupants. Presence of occupancy-sensor controlled lighting fixtures contributes to the sustainability factor by reducing energy consumption.
The building has made extensive use of low VOC paints, adhesives, and sealants in the interior to upgrade indoor air quality. Other eco-friendly features include use of 20% of reclaimed materials during construction, and recycling or salvaging over 99% of construction debris.
