Geothermal System
As part of this renovation effort, the team designed a geothermal system - the largest of any airport in the US. It includes 648 vertical wells each drilled 500 feet deep
into the earth. The system saves massive amounts of energy by using the earth’s natural temperature to heat in the winter and cool in the summer replacing the need for additional equipment. The HVAC system will increase the amount of outside air that is brought into the terminals and other spaces, which contributes to a healthier and more comfortable environment for travelers and airport staff.
With the geothermal system in place, old systems that require large, loud cooling towers and boilers will be removed, making space for needed future terminal expansion.
The geothermal project will cut carbon emissions by more than 80% and cut heating and cooling operating costs by nearly $400,000 per year. It will use 40% less energy than traditional heating and cooling systems and will require less maintenance over the course of system life. Geothermal systems have a much longer
life expectancy than traditional systems and contribute to a more resilient terminal overall.

Elevate CVG - Terminal Modernization
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport | Hebron, Kentucky
CMTA was proud to be part of the Elevate CVG campaign, a multi-year, $400M terminal redevelopment effort that will transform the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) into a modern, efficient hub for travelers.
As a subconsultant to Corgan and Pasley, our team contributed our expertise in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and technology to the project’s planning design documents, serving as a critical guide for the design-build teams in the upcoming phase of the redevelopment.
The Elevate CVG project is simple. It seeks to overhaul operational efficiency, enhance passenger experience, and modernize facilities that haven’t seen significant
renovations in decades. The project will breathe new life into the two existing concourses A and B, originally constructed in 1993, which had not undergone any major upgrades since 2012.
A key focus of the redevelopment is the modernization of the Welcome Pointe—the airport’s primary customer-facing area for arriving passengers. This redesign includes new security technology to streamline passenger flow and boost safety.
Additionally, CVG is aiming to create a more welcoming and regionally representative space with artwork and displays that celebrate the Greater Cincinnati area. This sense of place will be woven throughout the terminal, giving travelers a clear
connection to the region as they arrive and depart.
To accommodate this bold change, major mechanical and electrical infrastructure will need to be relocated and expanded. With this, operational efficiencies and maintenance, along with energy efficiency are a primary focus throughout the project.
This ambitious modernization effort, funded through a combination of the airport’s capital budget, general airport revenue bonds, and passenger facility charges, will position CVG as a leader in the aviation industry.
