When San Diego International Airport (SDIA) Terminal 1 opened in 1967, it served 2.5 million passengers in its first year. In 2019 the same facility served approximately 11 million passengers. The new T1 will replace the current Terminal 1 with a modern and efficient facility that will improve the airport experience and complete the transformation of San Diego’s air transportation gateway. The new T1 includes new and re-designed roadways, a 5,000-space parking plaza, a passenger processing terminal, a passenger concourse, aircraft service areas, upgrades to the existing central utility plant, enhanced stormwater capture and reuse facilities, and more. This project features up to 30 gates (up from 19 in the current terminal) and represents a significant upgrade for passengers, employees, and airport tenants. The new T1 project has integrated sustainability throughout the design, construction, and operation phases. This presentation will focus on water reuse and decarbonization initiatives, describing each project’s elements and their evolution from design through operations. The panelists will discuss how sustainability frameworks have been leveraged to inform decision-making on this landmark project. After this session, participants will be able to:
• Identify how to leverage sustainability frameworks to inform decision-making on landmark projects, such as airport design (and other large infrastructure projects).
• Identify invative water reuse and decarbonization opportunities for airport construction and operations.
• Discuss how stakeholders played a significant role in the decision-making process throughout this project.
