Inside San Francisco Airport's Triple Zero Plan

摘要

Kicking off a five-year strategic plan, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) recently partnered with the Northern California branch of the USGBC to announce its journey to becoming the world's first "triple zero" airport campus. By 2021, the airport will achieve zero net energy, carbon neutrality and zero waste-to-landfill, according to SFO's Chief Development Officer Geoff Neumayr. "We have a 5,000-acre campus with an asset portfolio of over 14.5 million square feet across nearly 70 buildings that currently consume 440 GWh of energy each year," Neumayr explains. "If we can get to zero, what's stopping others?"
