The Vancouver International Airport says a 3.5-million-dollar investment by the federal and provincial governments will go towards improving the main terminal's building performance and to reduce its overall emissions.

The airport says improvements include switching from natural gas to electricity for domestic water heating and decarbonizing three domestic hot water loops through the installation of air-source heat pumps.
