How exactly is an eco-friendly airport run?
Like I said, it´s key to respect the three actions I mentioned above:for example, renewable energy systems on the roof to reduce the needfor conventional energy consumption. In addition, we will integratesolar panels to heat water, without having to rely in conventionalgases or electricity as the sources to meet the demands of hot water inthe terminal. As water us also limited, we have designed gutters thatwill control the quality and flow throughout the building.
What measures are you talking to care for the environment during the construction?
Taking into account the need to be conscious about ecologicalconservation and ensuring the stability if the ecosystem duringconstruction, there will be regular environmental tests, we will usespecial techniques to limit levels of dust and we will rely on manuallabor for certain tasks that would typically be done with heavymachinery. In addition, none of the substances used to mix the cementand other construction materials will contain chemicals. Wastemanagement control as it relates to the construction materials will bea priority.
What would you highlight with regard to the design?
The architecture is based on the idea of creating a sustainablebuilding, which incorporates natural light and ventilation, shades thebuilding from sunlight, is aesthetically pleasing, and efficientlydistributes artificial light and temperature control.
These strategies are designed to create a building that can besustained through natural sources, with the intent of reducing theimpact on the outside environment, while creating a pleasantenvironment within. As we have done in all of our airports, we payspecial attention to the need of our passengers, ensure highoperational, functional and accessibility standards, while guaranteeingthe safety, efficiency and comfort of our passengers and airportemployees.
Which other airports does Corporation America manage?
Through Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, we run 33 airports in Argentina(those belonging to the National System of Airports). In addition, wemanage the Guayaquil airport in Ecuador, the Zvartnots in Armenia andthe Carrasco and Laguna del Sauce airports, both in Uruguay, says the presodent of Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 Julio Ernesto Gutierrez Conte.
