LAX Terminal 1.5 recently achieved LEED Silver certification for NC.
- The building will be utilizing a new recycled water system that is being installed around the Airport campus, which will work in concert with low flow faucets and flush valves that will make a dramatic reduction in the amount of potable water used by the building.
- A new stormwater collection and management system will be used by the building to collect all rainwater runoff at the building site, which will then be filtered and reclaimed at an offsite treatment facility. This system will ensure that this rainwater will be treated and reused as opposed to being directly drained into the Pacific Ocean.
- Several energy efficiency measures were incorporated into the building design such as an advanced lighting control system that is programed to automatically increase or decrease the amount of artificial light within the building depending on both the time of day and number of occupants within the building.
- Advanced, energy efficient air handling units were deployed in the design of the building to ensure occupant comfort is maintained within the building by accurately monitoring and regulating temperature, humidity, and air quality.
- The project also achieved an exemplary performance credit for its use and incorporation of recycled materials throughout the building along with the contractor’s ability to recycle a large amount of waste material that was generated throughout the construction of the building.
- Finally, the project was able to achieve an exemplary performance credit for reducing the amount of energy the building consumed and by purchasing renewable energy credits from off-site renewable energy providers, since it wasn’t possible to produce renewable green energy at the building site.
