Is the world of airport parking about to go green too?

Along with the collapse of Goldtrail and Ryanair working on their plan for world domination, this year will probably be remembered by the travel industry as the year that sustainable tourism went mass market.

With big players like Thomson’s launching green holidays for the everyman, it seems that environmentally-friendly travel isn’t just for lefties in pasta sandals anymore. It’s not just tour operators who are embracing the new way of thinking either, as news hits this week of Denver airport opening their first everecologically-sound airport car parking facility.

State of the art ‘green park’

The new facility, which can accommodate 4200 cars, features the very latest in green design thinking. As well as using solar panels and wind turbines for power generation, it features geothermal heating and cooling, extensive LED lighting and passenger shuttles powered byCNG and Biodiesel fuels.

The entire design was conceived to maximise energy efficiency and minimise CO2emissions, something which has gained it the US Building Council’s prestigious green certification, the LEED.

It’s hoped that the site, which opens later this month, will prove popular with the 51 million passengers who use Denver airport each year.
