Louisville Airport Continued
Geothermal System The Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) geothermal system will be the largest of any airport in the United States. It includes 648 vertical wells each drilled 500 feet deep into the earth. The system saves massive amounts of energy by using the earth’s natural temperature to heat in the winter and cool in the summer replacing the need for additional equipment. The HVAC system will increase the amount of outside air that is brought into the terminals and other spaces, which contributes to a healthier and more comfortable environCarbon Reduction ment for travelers and airport staff.
The geothermal project at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) will cut carbon emissions by more than 80% and cut heating and cooling operating costs by nearly $400,000 per year. This geothermal system will use 40% less energy than traditional heating and cooling systems and will require less maintenance over the course of system life. Geothermal systems have a much longer life expectancy than traditional systems and contribute to a more resilient terminal overall. With the geothermal system in place, old systems that require large, loud cooling towers and boilers will be removed, making space for needed future terminal expansion.
