1. INTRODUCTION

In Japan, various efforts have been done to conserve and create hospitable environment
at the airport administrated by Japanese government under the motto of the “Eco-Airport” since 2003.
Attached presentation introduces the examples of the effort for “Eco-Airport” in Japan, technical
support for ASEAN countries and so on.

2. ACTION BY THE MEETING

2.1 The meeting is invited to:

a) note the information contained in this paper and the attached presentation; and

b) discuss any relevant matters as appropriate.

What is “Eco-Airport” ?
1

“Eco-Airport” means
・Environmental Policy in or around the airport
And
・Environmentally-friendly airport itself
In Japan, various efforts have been done to conserve and create
hospitable environment at the airport administrated by Japanese
government Under the motto of the “Eco-Airport” since 2003
Why is “Eco-Airport” needed?
2

Promoting environmental measures creates the status or a brand of airports.

・Considering clean & ecology is the trend of major airports in the world.
・Airports are the faces of the countries.（First impression for foreign visitors）
The promotion of Eco-Airport improves the image of the country.

Energy saving will contribute to reduction of operation costs.

Promoting environmental measures on airports are essential not only

for global/regional environment but also development for airports.
How to promote “Eco-Airport” in Japan

The Spirit of the “Eco-Airport”

■The Eco-Airport is not developed passively by the regulations based on the laws and the
standards. In the Eco-Airport, wide efforts of environmental measures, such as the promotion
of resource saving and energy saving should voluntarily be taken.
※Different concept from the regulation of Aircraft noise

For promoting “Eco-Airport”,

the airport should have an Environmental plan to express the environmental target.

Actually, Each airport is under each condition ( size, climate, location・・・・・・）

Large-scale Off-shore Mountainside Snow

It is important to provide and implement a suited plan for each airport.

The Spirit of the “Eco-Airport”

■In order to promote Eco-Airport, all organizations concerned with the airport need to take part
in the environmental effort, and the airport administrator should take a leading role in them.
・Airport administrator
Eco-Airport Council of each airport ・Relevant organizations
- Terminal operator
survey of environmental status - Airline
- Ground Handling etc

Formulation of “airport environment plan” For instance

･10% reduction of CO2
Plan (Setting Environment Targets)

・Less idling of the vehicle

Use of Geothermal power for air condition

▶Temperature is kept constant at 17℃ under the ground
(higher than outside in Winter and lower than outside in Summer)
▶Heat is obtained or released by circulating water inside the pipe in the Pile foundation for building.
▶Initial cost is not so expensive by using the Pile foundation effectively.
