Raleigh-Durham International (RDU) has received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification for its Terminal 1 project from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The program honors entities that build projects that are designed, constructed, maintained and operated for improved environmental and human health performance.
The project was a major renovation of the Terminal 1 building, which was originally built in 1982. Construction involved removing the outer walls of the building and reconstructing it using LEED guidelines wherever possible.
“The Terminal 1 project demonstrates [RDU’s] commitment to sustainable business practices and energy efficiency,” says Michael Landguth, CEO. “From the beginning, our team set its sights on achieving LEED certification. This designation illustrates the team’s hard work and that of our architects and construction firms.”
