RGIA, Hyderabad

This document discusses the sustainability practices at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad, India. The airport has achieved LEED Silver certification for its green terminal building. It employs various sustainability practices like maintaining a large green cover on site, conserving energy through efficient systems and renewable energy, managing greenhouse gas emissions, harvesting rainwater, recycling wastewater, and treating solid waste on site. The airport also has a 5 MW solar power plant to generate clean energy.

Temp: 43.0 degrees Celsius  Annual Min. Temp: 11.8 degrees Celsius  Annual total rainfall: 802.4 mm  Elevation: 590 M
LEED RATING  Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is the first Asian airport to get the prestigious Leadership in Energy and Environment Design New Construction (LEED NC) Silver Rating for having a green and environment friendly terminal building
PRACTICES USED TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABILITY  Greenbelt Cover  Energy Conservation  GHG Management  Air & Noise Pollution Control  Water Management  Solid Waste Management  Environmental Quality Monitoring  Environmental Promotion  Community Development
GREEN COVER  A green belt is created in an area of 273 hectares with various plants  Also 971 hectares of natural greenery is undisturbed  Approximately 169 tonnes of CO2 / annum has been calculated to be removed from the atmosphere by the green cover provided
ENERGY CONSERVATION  RGIA has achieved electricity savings of 3.397 million kWh (kilowatt hour) on an average in the last three years
PRACTICES EMPLOYED FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION
Though some of the practices sound frivolous, for a project of this Magnitude every single one of the above serves a huge purpose
GREEN HOUSE GAS MANAGEMENT  RGIA has achieved Level 3 accreditation in the year 2013  The scope for this lies with the stakeholders- airlines, Ground Handling agencies, flight kitchens and other service providers etc., are also influenced for effective reduction in the GHG emission  It is the first in the country and second in the Asia Pacific Region to be awarded with the level 3 accreditation  RGIA reduced 5268 tonnes [5099 tonnes of GHG emissions + 169 tonnes of GHG sink] of its net GHG emissions in 2014 over base year 2009 i.e. 17%
WATER MANAGEMENT  100% waste water is recycled along with 100% rain water being harvested  The sewage treatment plant at the airport treats the waste water for flushing and it reuses the water for irrigation of the greenery at the airport  Sludge generated is used as manure  The waste water generation itself has been reduced to 33litres from 37litres per passenger since 2013  RGIA harvests rainwater within the premises of the airport with a built-up capacity of 0.185 million cubic metre  The rainwater net recharge at RGIA is estimated to be 1.729 million cubic metre per annum
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT  As mentioned afore, the food waste is converted to manure by the facility on site and is used as manure  The paper and plastic waste are handed over to authorized recyclers for reprocess and reuse
SOLAR FARM  RGIA has commissioned a 5 MW solar power plant for its captive consumption and plans to gradually scale the capacity up to 30 MW over the next two-three years  The farm will cater to about 30 per cent of the airport’s terminal power requirement at the moment and the authorities intend the airport to eventually be fully run on solar power FEATURES:  Capacity - 5 MW  Area - 21 acre  Average Daily power generation - Appx 2.2 MW  Date of commissioning - 8th Nov 2015  Theoretical expected generation units: 8 Million kWh per annum
