Protecting our planet against climate change is one of the key factors in creating a sustainable built environment. Fresh thinking and practical solutions are required from engineers and architects to design spaces that are more ‘environmentally responsible’.

There are various environmental issues connected with airports, including noise levels, air quality, water pollution and waste management, all of which will increase as airports become larger and busier. At Buro Happold we are able to use our extensive experience in the aviation sector to provide a range of environmental services designed to combat these impacts. Our experts can identify design approaches that minimises environmental impact and maximises opportunities for achieving sustainable outcomes, from reducing project’s carbon footprint to controlling the effect of noise.
