LaGuardia Airport Terminal B earns sustainability honor

Terminal B at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport has become the first in the world to obtain LEED v4 Gold certification, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced. Among measures meriting the honor were efforts to recycle nearly all the debris from a garage demolition during the new construction, and a design that supports a 43% reduction in water usage and an 18% reduction in energy costs.
