The Warsaw Chopin Airport serves nearly half of Poland's air travel by providing a comfortable environment for visitors and workers. The new terminal features operationally and energy efficient infrastructure systems that are also environmentally responsible.

The new terminal features high performance infrastructure systems that are estimated during their first 10 years of operation to save an amount of energy equivalent to that needed to supply a city of 11,000 inhabitants for a year.

"For years, the Warsaw Chopin Airport has made fiscally sound, environmentally responsible business decisions," said Wiktor Ziemiñski, Warsaw Chopin Airport technical bureau director. "The systems selected as part of the new terminal's construction contracts are excellent solutions that enable us to meet these goals while providing a comfortable indoor environment for visitors and workers."

The new terminal includes large water cooled centrifugal chillers and a chiller plant control system that maintain indoor air quality for passengers and airport personnel. The control system provides centralized system operation supervision that can be accessed remotely. In upcoming months, "Porty Lotnicze" will expand the chilled water system's operational capabilities in order to provide domestic hot water for use throughout the terminal.

Providing high performance environments also is a focus of the new Center for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability at Ingersoll Rand (CEES) (www.cees.ingersollrand.com). Following Drogosz's remarks, Markiton will announce the new Ingersoll Rand Center for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability and its goals for optimizing operational and energy efficiencies worldwide.

The CEES is a dedicated global group of leaders focused on advocating and bringing to market energy-efficient innovation and technologies for commercial buildings and transport, homes and select industrial applications. It also will apply sustainable principles within its businesses for its customers and within the communities it serves.

"As an organization committed to energy efficiency and sustainability, Ingersoll Rand celebrates companies, communities and individuals who work to preserve our environment," said Jean David Soual, Trane vice president and central territory leader. "Warsaw Chopin Airport has made environmental responsibility a way of doing business, which really is an investment in the future of its employees, their families and their community."
