Réunion airport runs entirely without air conditioning
Original: An airport cooled by natural ventilation
Roland Garros Airport on the French island of Réunion has been built to stay cool using natural ventilation alone, with no air conditioning. Designed around local trade winds and airflow through its terminal structure, the project is being held up as an example of how tropical airports can cut energy use and emissions while remaining comfortable for passengers.
Why now: Readers are drawn to a large infrastructure project that manages tropical heat without energy-hungry air conditioning.
