在建的北京新机场的建筑师们声称在乘客感受、运作效率和可靠性方面，北京新机场将是全世界技术最先进的机场。北京机场是众多在建的中国新机场中的一个。机场将于明年的奥运会前投入使用。机场有一个壮观的、符合空气动力学的房顶，室内占地面积超过100万平方米。机场预计到2015年将接纳5300万名旅客。机场的设计具有很高的可靠性，比如朝东南方向的天窗设计（使最多地吸收朝阳的热量）和节能的综合环境控制系统。

Praised by its architects as the world’s most technologically advanced airport building in terms of passenger experience, operational efficiency, and sustainability, Beijing Airport is one of many new ones being constructed in China. Due to open in time for next year’s Olympic Games, it boasts a spectacular, aerodynamic roof covering a floor space of more than a million square meters. The airport is expected to process some 53 million travelers by 2015. It was built using sustainable design principles, including southeast-oriented skylights (to maximize heat from early sunshine) and an integrated environment-control system that uses minimal energy.
