Mumbai international Airport T2 Passenger Terminal is
one of the Greenest Airport Complexes in the world

The Client
The Terminal 2 of the Mumbai Airport was envisaged to synchronise all international and domestic air travel from one terminal. Opened in January, 2014, Terminal 2 has been handling all International Flights with Domestic Flights too slowly shifting to this Terminal. The vision was to reduce the hassles of a common air traveller. The project for a feasibility study of this new terminal was given to Conserve Consultants.
The Challenge
Mandatory requirements of the LEED Certification for a large magnitude built space of 9.5 million sqft was difficult to meet.
Meeting mandatory energy compliance was the major challenge.
The Solution
- To publish the results of the simulation within 6 weeks, a special team was formed.
- Performance gaps and bottlenecks in the project were identified and shared with the project team which reworked the design and the simulation of the redesigned structure was undertaken.
- LEED Sustainability Certification was attempted and higher rating was aspired for
The Benefits
- Mere meeting of the ASHRAE baseline resulted in savings of Rs 60 million
- Silver rating was achieved and Gold rating aspired for
- Gold rating achieved in 2014 with the following key benefits:
- Energy savings of Rs 310 million over ASHRAE baseline energy cost
- Water savings of 200 million litres per annum over LEED India baseline
- Indoor air quality and thermal comfort parameters exceeding conventional airport requirements
- Substantial reduction in usage of natural resources
- Reduction in fuel consumption of vehicles and time of visitor/passenger achieved by simple methods like signages for empty parking space
