Heathrow Airport to Get Green Make-over
Permission has recently been granted by the local government to give the Heathrow Airport in London, England a £1.5 billion “green” make-over.
Plans include introducing making the building more energy efficient and introducing more recycled and renewable materials, transportation and energies to the terminals.
“I’m very pleased we’ve been able to agree a plan that puts energy efficiency and renewables at the heart of plans for a new Heathrow terminal, and that we’ve secured a commitment to address the energy demand of the airport as a whole,” Londonmayor Ken Livingstone said.
“The challenges associated with climate change will define how our city develops in the coming decades and, as the gateway between our city and the world, it is right that Heathrow airport leads the way in meeting those challenges.”
Phase one of the project — and the completion of the newest terminal, Heathrow East, is expected to be done by the 2012 Olympics.
