5.3: Green Buildings

Strive to be a leader in environmental sustainability through green building practices.

Other Information:

SAS strives to be a leader in environmental sustainability through green building practices. Globally, SAS uses the best design, engineering, materials and technology available to minimize environmental impact when building or remodeling business facilities. This commitment leads the design and construction decisions for our office buildings. SAS has three LEED certified buildings as of 2012, including one Platinum level certification for our newest US office building and Executive Briefing Center. Platinum is the highest level awarded by the US Green Building Council. To achieve certification for existing buildings, SAS is performing advanced retrocommissioning to ensure building systems are operating efficiently using as little energy and water as possible. In 2012, SAS diverted 95.3 percent of construction waste from the landfill for all construction projects at the Cary, NC, headquarters campus.
