GREEN INITIATIVE During construction Minimumenvironmental impact concept has been followed during construction of New Integrated Terminal of Chandigarh International Airport. Following measures have been adopted : Top soil conservation Sedimentation channels – for water conservation and ground recharge Waste management during construction, separate area for construction waste and segregation of waste as per norms of Griha Wheel washing facility tominimize the environmental impact of construction Acoustic proof Silent diesel Generator sets Preservation of trees in the construction area Re - plantatation of trees Jute bag to minimise wastage of water Maximise the green area Various environmental friendly materials used as per green building concept Fly Ash Bricks-Around 55 Lakhs Double Insulated Roofing System DGU & High Performance Glasses Low VOC Paints Cavity Walls Energy Efficient Chillers With 6.3 COP For HVAC Enery Efficient Gearlesss Motors for Elevators VFDS For High Capacity Motors Led Type Electrical Fixtures 600 KLD STP Plant Installed for Treating Sewarage and Waste Water. Treated Water from STP Plant will be wsed for HVAC, Flushingand Gardening Etc. Rain Water Harvesting Wells. Sensor Based Plumbing Fittings for Water Conservation. 2. BENEFITS The electricity for the entire airport is proposed to be generated through 100% solar initiative for which Chandigarh International Airport Ltd (CHIAL) is shortly putting up 3.0 (three) mega watt solar plant. Therefore entire energy requirement of airport shall be met from green energy without having any dependence on State Electricity Board. Due to functioning of STP, the water requirement for maintenance of green area and HVAC etc. will go down as water will be treated before getting reused.
