POWERFUL AIRPORT: Miami International Airport will replace the roofs of its North, Central and South terminals and add $125.7 million in new roofing that includes a solar voltaic system that will move the airport toward generating 7 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 4,200 to 7,000 homes. County commissioners approved the expenditure this month. More solar power is coming: Aviation Director Ralph Cutié told a committee that “we look to expand to our parking garages as well to reduce our electric bill.” The roof replacement is to take four years. The present roofs, about 16 years old, leak and pose risks of water damage. The new 410,000-square-foot roof system is to get a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty.
