Session 06: The Benefits of Well-Planned Facility Retrofits – Reno-Tahoe Airport’s Substantial Accomplishments Prior to the MoreRNO Program
Date & Time
Thursday, August 21, 2025, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Description

This presentation will describe the wide range of facility retrofit projects accomplished over the past two decades at Reno-Tahoe International Airport in the passenger terminal and the landside facilities. The goal of the retrofits was to improve energy efficiency and extend the useful life of the facilities, while plans were being drafted for the $1 billion redevelopment program, MoreRNO, the largest capital investment in the airport’s history. The speaker will describe how the retrofit projects were accomplished, and the variety of benefits for the airport. This session will be of value to facilities engineers and managers working in existing buildings where energy and mechanical upgrades – rather than purchase of new equipment – are the most practical ways to proceed in making improvements.
