Abstract: This paper discusses how operational efficiency and sustainability are two preoccupations for airport administrations. ORAT's objective is to operate a new facility on day one as if it had been operated for years. By engaging stakeholders in the process, Aéroports de Montréal's (ADM's) Operational Readiness and Airport Transition (ORAT) programme contributes to life cycle analysis, decreases the risk of changes during construction and lowers the post-opening modifications, which results in less deconstruction and material loss. It supports commissioning in the attempt to achieve a cost-effective strategy for reducing energy, costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in buildings. In short, ADM's ORAT programme promotes sustainability.
