San Francisco Airport (SFO) has USA’s First LEED Terminal
San Francisco’s new Terminal 2 was retrofitted to be green by design. It is the first Airport Terminal in the US to achieve GOLD LEED.
Among the green features in the design were waste reduction (achieved by reusing or recycling all construction waste), reduced water use (achieved by a closed loop reclaimed water system for the toilets and urinals that is treated on site) and Greenhouse Gas – GHG – reductions (achieved by eliminating the need for airplane auxiliary power units by providing preconditioned air and power at the gate).
In addition …” …food vendors will be required to use biodegradable tableware and source separate all food service wastes for direct transport to off-Airport composting facilities … ”
