SYNLawn Contributes to LEED Platinum Certified Project at Bob Hope Airport
Hanger 25 at the Bob Hope Airport was recently recognized with the Environmental Management Award for its distinction as the world first LEED Platinum certified aviation facility. Sustainable innovations that helped the facility earn the Platinum certification included artificial grass by SYNLawn where 6,500 square feet of SYNFescue Platinum 320 was installed as part of a drought tolerant landscape design. Other advances include a HI-FOG water-based fire suppression system, evaporative coolers and fans and a diamond polished concrete floor that reflects light.
“Hanger 25 sets a true example for aviation and other industries that sustainable construction can be good for the environment and a company’s bottom line with lower operations costs when implemented correctly,” said Andy Meyers, CEO of Shangri-La Construction who headed up the project.
