Level 3+ usually means they are moving toward neutrality or have a clear offset strategy. I want to see the actual reporting standards they used. Certification is one thing, but the underlying accounting method determines if this is real reduction or just creative bookkeeping.

Exactly. Did they actually install onsite solar or just buy RECs? Most of these airport wins come from procurement shifts rather than hard infrastructure changes. I wonder what their peak load looks like and if they have any storage on site.

Airports are basically giant warehouses with massive HVAC needs. If they are hitting Level 3+, they should be talking about building envelope efficiency or heat pump transitions for the terminals. That is where the real energy wins are.

Another airport getting a badge. It is good to see, but the article is light on specifics. No mention of tonnage reduced or the specific initiatives that got them to Level 3+. It is mostly corporate phrasing.
