Airport’s newest terminal uses 60% less energy than comparable facilities
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, 2022-Feb-24 — /Travel PR News/ — The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) announced that Harvey Milk Terminal 1 has become the first airport terminal in the world to earn “Platinum” certification using the latest standards from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. This latest version, known as LEED v4, raises the bar for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance structures. SFO earned this certification for Boarding Area B in Harvey Milk Terminal 1, which includes the 25-gate concourse, post-security concession space, and integrated connector to the U.S. Customs Federal Inspection Area.
“We are truly proud to be the first airport in the world to earn LEED v4 Platinum certification,” said Airport Director Ivar C. Satero. “This achievement continues a tradition of leadership in sustainable facilities that includes the first LEED Gold airport terminal in the United States, and the world’s first zero net energy facility at an airport. My thanks go out to the entire project team for continuing to push the envelope for what airports can accomplish to support our environmental goals.”
Sustainable design and construction measures were prioritized at every stage of the project, resulting in the implementation of more than a significant number of sustainable practices.
Highlights include:
In 2011, SFO became the first airport in the U.S. to achieve LEED Gold certification for an airport terminal, with the certification of Terminal 2.
The construction of Harvey Milk Terminal 1 is divided into two projects: Boarding Area B (BAB) and Terminal 1 Center (T1C).
Design-build, construction, and project management team are as follows:
