TORINO GREEN AIRPORT

17,0°C | 62,6°F

Completed projects (2010 - 2024)

  • Since 2010, a series of widespread interventions have been carried out on the buildings, making them more sustainable and less energy-consuming.
  • Since 2010, many systems have been put under inverters and uninterruptible power systems, escalators, motors and pumping systems have been replaced, updating them with technologies with reduced energy consumption.
  • Since 2010, lighting replacement campaigns have been carried out with LED systems.
  • From 2011 to 2017 the air conditioning system of the passenger terminal was progressively updated by creating a cooling ring powered by 2 power stations that balance each other according to energy needs.
  • Since 2012, the automated baggage transport system has been progressively updated, which has 3.3 km of belts moved by almost a thousand electric motors. Among the various projects, a unique idea stands out in the sector: since the flow of baggage is not constant over time, a system has been developed that allows baggage to be accumulated in various holding stations, the filling of which activates the movement of the portions of useful belt, with considerable energy savings.
  • Since 2018, in collaboration with Enerbrain (Spin-off of the Polytechnic of Turin), an IOT system has been created for the intelligent regulation of the climatic comfort of the General Aviation Terminal: the electronic system regulates the air conditioning and heating systems by acquiring data from the probes installed throughout the building, continuously optimizing the environmental conditions in an intelligent way. The installation of Enerbrain has allowed savings on electricity and natural gas consumption of more than 30%.
  • Since 2018, adaptive management and control systems for the lighting systems of buildings and aprons have been progressively implemented in order to minimize operating hours and consumption.
  • Since 2019, the heating systems serving the peripheral buildings have been remodeled and updated to make them less energy-consuming.
  • In 2021, the new car park with electric charging for the car sharing customer was opened (10 columns for 0 cars).
  • Since 2021, the airport has been powered 100% by renewable electricity.
  • Since 2022, an Electricity Distribution System has been in place. SAGAT thus becomes the airport's electricity distributor: all significant SAGAT and third-party utilities at the airport are equipped with meters to measure the airport's electricity consumption in a comprehensive manner.
  • In 2023, the first electric ambulance for airport rescue operations entered service.
  • In 2023, a new parking lot with electric charging was created for the end customer (8 columns for 16 cars).
  • In 2023, the relamping of neon, incandescent and discharge lamps continued, replaced with low-absorption LED lamps. Areas completed: aircraft parking, airside and landside roads, office buildings, General Aviation Terminal, Multistory Parking Garage, baggage handling building, hangars and large portions of the Passenger Terminal. 
  • Since 2023, more than 58% of SAGAT's fleet has been replaced with hybrid or full electric vehicles.
  • In 2023, the first large-scale photovoltaic system was installed on the roofs of the airport terminal: with a power of 1.6 MWp, it covers an area of about 6,500 square meters and produces more than 1,700 MWh of electricity in a year. The system is able to meet 14% of the airport's annual needs.
  • In 2024, the number of electric charging stations available to users was expanded: 19 electrified stalls powered 100% by renewable sources were added with a power ranging from 22 kW up to ultra-fast 400 kW stations.
  • In 2024, the boilers of the main thermal power plant were replaced with new high-efficiency condensing boilers to reduce the airport's natural gas consumption.
