ACRP Report 110: Evaluating Impacts of Sustainability Practices on Airport Operations and Maintenance
Abstract
ACRP Report 110: Evaluating Impacts of Sustainability Practices on Airport Operations and Maintenance provides an evaluation process and cost–benefit tool to evaluate lifecycle costs of sustainability practices being considered by airport operators. The User’s Guide discusses the evaluation process (EP) and how to navigate the cost–benefit tool (CBT) and provides information from the case studies that were conducted in the development of the EP and CBT. The evaluation process and cost–benefit analysis tool is designed to evaluate sustainability practices in water conservation, energy conservation, waste management, consumables and materials, and alternative fuels. However, the tool can be used to evaluate any two practices, sustainable or otherwise. An instructional video that demonstrates how to use the evaluation process and cost–benefit tool using data from an example project is also provided.
