Airport Energy Resilience Roadmap. There is an urgent need for airports to enhance energy resilience in the face of increasing demands and climate change impacts. This webinar serves as an introduction to the research and process behind developing an Airport Energy Resilience Roadmap. Developing an airport energy resiliency roadmap allows the airport to establish a baseline of its energy use, supply, and vulnerabilities; set goals and related strategies in concert with stakeholder input to address its energy resiliency; and prioritize and integrate the strategies into other airport planning processes, including funding plans. This webinar is based on ACRP Research Report 260: Airport Energy Resilience Roadmap .
