LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in Queens, New York City earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) v4 Gold certification for its Terminal B, the first airline terminal in the world to receive this recognition. The standard to receive the certification includes nine categories for which buildings can earn credit: energy and atmosphere, water efficiency, sustainable sites, locations and transportation, integrative process, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation, and regional priority. This LEED certification in particular focuses on building performance and looks for measurable results throughout a project’s life cycle. “We are proud to be marking another milestone at Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport with this LEED v4 Gold certification as we continue developing it into the world-class airport our customers deserve,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. “The Port Authority takes sustainability seriously, and this award sets an important precedent for other airports around the country to follow.”
