Changi Airport Could Get Less Colder In Bid To Reduce Carbon Footprint

Singapore is considering further reducing its air conditioning carbon footprint in Changi Airport and installing solar panels near the airport runways in its effort to be a sustainable airport hub.

The government has been recommended by a panel on 15 various measures across the airport, airline, and air traffic that needs to be implemented in order to tackle climate change in the global aviation industry.

Acknowledging the air-conditioning system being the largest consumer of energy, making up 60 percent of the total energy used by its terminals, the panel recommended that the aviation authority work with stakeholders to further improve the system’s energy efficiency through innovative energy-efficient technologies and design concepts.

This includes assessing potential alternative cooling methods or technologies to guide the design for Terminal 5, and retrofitting existing terminals to achieve maximum energy savings.

That said, it is also recognised that its air-con system is an important part of its service to bring comfort to passengers. The airport will not remove air-conditioning entirely, but explore different cooling methods using the space in its terminals.
