Massport Overview • Independent State Authority • Maritime – Conley Container Terminal • ISO 14001 certified

• 1.5 million tons cargo annually

– – – –

Cruiseport Boston Boston Fish Pier Development Parcels Parks and Edge Buffers

– Winner of 2009 American Association of Port Authorities “Comprehensive Environmental Management” Award

• Airports – Logan International • >27M passengers and 1B lbs cargo per yr. • 17th busiest airport in US

– Hanscom Field • ISO 14001 certified (1st US Airport)

– Worcester Regional Airport – Winner of 2008 ACI Environmental Achievement Award – Logan Airport Emissions Reduction Program

Massport has a long Commitment to Environmental Issues • One of the oldest noise abatement programs in the US - Over 5100 homes and 36 schools sound-insulated • Environmental Reports Published since 1979 • Monthly NO2 monitoring since 1982 • CNG bus fleet since 1993 over 15,000,000 clean fuel miles • Aggressive HOV Goals • 1st LEED-certified airport terminal in the World • 1st airport and container terminal EMS (ISO 14001) in US • Creative Emission Reduction Strategies

Massport’s Environmental Vision focus on Sustainability - approaching business in a way that allows the organization to evaluate, design and plan all its activities to continuously avoid and minimize environmental impacts related to all current and future operations and services.

Logan Emission Reduction Measures • CNG and hybrid bus fleet • Clean cab program • Logan Air Quality Initiative (AQI) • 400 Hz power and pre-conditioned air at all 92 airport gates • Strong commitment to energy reduction and renewable energy…

Case Study: Terminal B Garage Lighting Retrofits and Solar Panels SAVINGS

96.3% energy reduction 3.7% energy generation  Reduction of 1357 Metric Tons of CO2 annually  Generation of 1.75% of 2012 Leading by Example goal of 15% from renewables Annual Electrical Consumption: Annual Consumption Reduction New Lighting Fixtures and Energy Conservation Initiatives

49% Lower than Existing 2,192 mW-hrs /$263,094

Annual Energy Production From new PV SolarPanels

84 mW-hrs/$10,076

Total Annual Energy Reduction From Grid Utility

2,276 mW-hrs/$273,172

Massport Energy Efficiency Initiative • Establish an Authority-wide energy-use baseline • Develop a strategy to reduce long-range energy consumption: – Reduce facility operating costs – Reduce emissions of Green House Gases (GHG) – Meet/exceed state/federal regulatory goals

• Identify Opportunities for Renewable Energy

Goal #1 – Vertical Energy Use Intensity (EUI) •

Plan as shown results in a reduction from 108 kBtu/sqft in FY10 to 88 kBtu/sqft in FY12 (95% of the FY10-to-FY12 gap) – –



Significant savings in FY12 projected from CHP retro-cx All scenarios are short of 2012 LBE target by approximately 1 kBtu/sqft in FY12 (equal to approximately 11 million kBtu)

Opportunities to close the gap: –

Discontinue HTHW to hangars 8, 9, & 16 in FY12; and/or accelerate “New” projects to FY12

Goal #2 – Renewable Electricity  2012 RE goal exceeded by 2 million kWh – combined on-site renewable generation and REC purchase  

792,000 kWh provided by onsite projects by FY12 (`20% of target) 5-year “call option” REC contract starts FY11, expires in FY16



Target based on MPA Ops electricity being 16% of vertical total

LBE Goal #3 – GHG Reductions •

Plan as shown results in decrease of 7,900 MTCO2 from FY10 to FY12 –

Short of FY12 LBE target by ~6,800 MTCO2
