Réunion airport runs entirely on natural ventilation
Original: An airport cooled by natural ventilation
Roland Garros Airport on the French island of Réunion is drawing attention for staying cool without air conditioning, relying instead on natural ventilation designed into its terminal architecture. Engineers and sustainability commentators are highlighting the project as proof that large public buildings in tropical climates can cut energy use significantly, sparking wider debate about passive cooling in airport design.
Why now: Interest in low-energy, climate-friendly architecture is high as regions face extreme heat and rising cooling costs.
