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
