Kansas City International Airport

HEI Project Profile - Long

Henderson Engineers has worked on KCI Airport’s campus since 1997. Since then, we’ve completed a variety of projects ranging from studies and simulations to parking garage improvements and terminal rehabilitation. These projects include; • Air Cargo Facility • Aircraft Noise Measurements • Parking Facility, PV Feasibility Study, & Construction Administration • CNG Facility Expansion Construction Administration Services • Entrance Feature Lighting Improvements • Expand Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Station • Field Maintenance Storage/154 Tokyo Avenue • Host Building Simulation (office and catering facility) • Parking Garage Improvements and Safety Narrative • Parking Lot G Replacement • Terminal Buildings Rehabilitation • Taxicab Facility • TWA Simulation Building Demolition and Design Services SUSTAINABILITY NARRATIVE The new Kansas City International Airport Terminal and Garage facility is a spot light for impactful sustainable development. It's a cornerstone in regional development and showcases a number of sustainable features. Thefacility is being designed to LEED Gold standards and will be thefirst airport to incorporate induction charging for the all-electric shuttle bus fleet reducing emissions and carbon footprint in addition to being supplied with renewable energy from the utility provider's nearby solar and wind farm. The facility incorporates onsite photovoltaic panels to offset peak usage and is set up to utilize all-electric ground service equipment to take advantage of the renewable power available. Henderson Engineers performed advanced modeling in energy and carbon usage to facilitate the development of the roof, wall, window systems, lighting, and heating and air conditioning that are both simplistic and effective in achieving optimized performance. The studies included energy modeling, airflow modeling, glazing and glare assessments, reliability/resiliency evaluation, and a gate by gate study for effective usage and control. The water systems are designed to be safe and limit waste in usage and energy. Additionally, the project recycled 98% of the materials from the demolition of the existing facilities, eliminating additional carbon being created. *Rendering courtesy of Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM)
