Although BTV expanded the facility to nearly twice its original size, it is using less than half the energy. Other significant energy efficiency measures that BTV completed at the Airport include:Upgrading the terminals 50-year-oldReplacing terminal, roadway, and heating and cooling system; parking lot lighting with compact Upgrading the terminals air fluorescent lamps and LEDs; andhandling units; Applying white roofing materials/Converting taxiway lighting fromsurfacing to select on-Airport facilities.incandescents to LEDs;Tenant Spotlight: Heritage Aviation FacilityHeritage Aviations facility at BTVgreen roofs in the New England received Gold-level Leadership inregion, a light-monitoring systemEnergy and Environmental Designthat adjusts lighting output based(LEED) status from the U.S. Greenon ambient conditions, and a solar-Building Council in 2011.
