Session: Energy, Environment & Sustainability

14:35 - 15:10 - Sustainable development of the Midfield Concourse at Hong Kong International Airport
Synopsis: The recently completed Midfield Concourse (MFC) at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is an exemplar of sustainable concourse design, exhibiting HKIA’s commitment to becoming a world-leading green airport. The 105,000m2, five-level concourse incorporates 20 new parking stands and will increase passenger handling capacity by at least 10 million passengers per year. This talk will describe how the early integration of sustainable design principles from project outset, including passive design strategies and low-energy active design techniques, was employed to deliver a sustainable, high-performance concourse with a comfortable passenger experience.

Audience will learn:

• How to successfully implement integrated design and construction for successful outcomes
• Sustainable design of concourse/terminal buildings
• Incorporation of health and wellbeing for the benefit of passengers and staff
