Between 2014 \u2013 2015, Sky Harbor already decreased its carbon footprint by more than 4%. Decreasing energy consumption and using renewable energy are two major factors in the reduction of an airport\u2019s carbon footprint. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has achieved this in several ways:<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00b7 Replacing traditional lighting with LED fixtures, which not only reduce energy consumption but emit much less heat, reducing air cooling demand. LED fixtures have already been installed in Sky Harbor\u2019s East Economy Parking Garages, at Air Cargo facilities, and portions of Terminal 4, and will be used in the newly-modernized Terminal 3.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00b7 Upgrading HVAC cooling systems with new, more energy-efficient technology<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00b7 Installing only energy-efficient appliances and fixtures in the newly-modernized Terminal 3 and other areas where older equipment requires replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was recognized recently as a newly-accredited airport in the Airports Council International \u2013 North America (ACI-NA) Airport Carbon Accreditation program.
