WEEKLY MESSAGE FROM ATO COO TERI L. BRISTOL
The Push for 'Greener' Facilities
Hi everyone. Like you, I take great pride in our mission to ensure the safest, most
efficient aerospace system in the world. I'm also min dful of the need to be good
environmental stewards.
In the ATO, we're taking steps to make our facilities greener. We have two new,
soon - to - be - commissioned air traffic control towers that have been designed to meet the
strict sustainability standards of th e U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy
& Environmental Design (LEED). LEED is a green building certification program that
recognizes best - in - class building strategies and practices and provides a framework for
creating healthy, resource - effic ient, and cost - effective buildings.
The new South Tower at Chicago O'Hare was built to achieve LEED Gold status,
one of the best rankings under this framework. The base building has a roof garden with
native plants that reduces the temperature of the build ing, thereby reducing the amount
of air conditioning needed. The entire facility also relies on a geothermal heat exchange,
which reduces the building's power demand during all - weather conditions.
