Corporate & Industry
Standards
moving towards a sustainable future
Corporate and Industry Standards
serve to give all focus areas
equal weighting for any size
sustainable initiative evaluation.
The industry standards were
chosen in an effort to have all
sustainable initiatives conform to
selected and existing recognized
standards. The corporate standards
serve to show how the initiatives
align with both local city policies
and Airport policies.

Sustainable Airport Manual
The Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) was developed by the Chicago Department of Aviation and it has
been drawn, in large part, from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building
rating system. The purpose of SAM is to integrate airport specific sustainable planning and practices
early in the design process through planning, construction, operations and maintenance, concessions
and tenants, and all other airport functions, with minimal impact to schedule or budget.
CLT uses the Chicago Department of Aviation’s Sustainable Airport Manual as a reference for applicable
initiatives. As the sustainability program continues to grow at CLT, more of this manual’s standards and
procedures will be incorporated into the program.
2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
CLT uses the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as a reference for applicable projects.
This code was designed to achieve a 30 percent increase in energy savings compared to its 2006
predecessor—capturing a goal pursued for the last several years by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
and many collaborating organizations in the energy codes community.
2012 International Green Construction Code (IgCC)
In March 2012, the International Code Council, America’s foremost building code writing body, released
the International Green Construction CodeTM (IgCC). The IgCC provides state and local governments,
for the first time, with a “model code” to require new and existing commercial buildings to reduce their
energy usage and carbon footprints and to minimize the adverse impacts that building construction and
operations have on the environment. CLT uses this code as a reference for all applicable projects.
Energy Star
CLT makes an effort to purchase products that are ENERGY STAR certified and is currently working
on incorporating Energy Star into its facilities.

LEED
Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design (LEED)
is an internationally recognized
green building certification
system, providing third-party
verification that a building or
community was designed and
built using strategies intended
to improve performance in
metrics such as energy savings,
water efficiency, CO2 emissions
reduction, improved indoor
environmental quality, and
stewardship of resources and
sensitivity to their impacts.
Developed by the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC), LEED
is intended to provide building
moving towards a sustainable future
owners and operators a concise
framework for identifying and
implementing practical and
measurable green building
design, construction, operations
and maintenance solutions.
CLT uses the LEED 2009 for
New Construction and Major
Renovations Checklist as a
reference for the Development
focus area for all new construction
projects over 5,000 S.F.
CLT also uses LEED 2009
for Existing Buildings Operations
& Maintenance Checklist as a
reference, when applicable,
for the focus area of Facilities
Maintenance & Operations.
