(MENAFN) Dubai Airports plans green initiatives to help reduce its carbon footprint at Dubai International Airport, official news agency WAM reported.
Those initiatives include installing solar panels on the roof of the new concourse building, an array of 192 solar panels measuring 450 square metres to be erected.
The company said this will have the dual benefit of generating power, while keeping the building cool by reflecting sunlight.
The solar array is expected to generate about 1.8 percent of the total power requirement of Concourse D, the company added.
Other initiatives include recycling, with onsite recycling facilities for the collection and storage of non-hazardous materials including paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastic and metal.
This will help reduce the amount of waste being disposed of in landfills, Dubai Airports said.
Recycled materials will also be used in the construction of Concourse D as well as regionally harvested or manufactured materials, with at least 10 percent of its building material being sourced from within 800km of Dubai International and 20 percent from recycled materials.
The new facility will also use of at least 50 percent wood based materials and products that are certified in accordance to Forest Stewardship Councils’ principles and criteria.
