DB 🌱💦Réunion is an island located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, colonized by France.
The island's new arrivals terminal at La Réunion Roland Garros Airport (RUN) is considered the world's first bioclimatic airport terminal in a tropical zone.
Designed by AIA Life Designers, the terminal uses trade winds for cooling, and achieves a temperature reduction of 5 to 7 degrees Celsius compared to conventional construction methods.

Reunion airport gets a bioclimatic terminal, the first in the tropics
The airport on the island of Reunion has been equipped with the world's first bioclimatic terminal in a tropical zone. The arrivals and baggage reclaim terminal operates without air-conditioning: the ventilation system is all-natural. #SmartRegions
