Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport 

To replace the existing airport, originally built in 1948, the new 4,000-acre Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is designed to be a LEED certified terminal building. Design with a state-of-the-art storm water management system, use of sustainable materials, and a landscaping plan that will not require supplemental irrigation, the Airport will be built on a Greenfield site with room to meet demands for the next 50 years. The facility includes a seven-gate terminal building, air traffic control tower, rental car facilitates, public safety building, maintenance facility, utility building, and an air cargo building. Providing commissioning services for the Airport, Sebesta Blomberg worked with the project team to ensure the project is being designed, constructed and commissioned for operation and maintenance to sustain life cycle sustainability and system energy efficiencies with the application of LEED Green principles.
