New Norwegian terminal LEED certified
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd has announced that its new PortMiami terminal is the first in the world to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold New Construction v4.0 certification.
LEED, developed by the US Green Building Council, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world, and LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.
The terminal and its platform were designed to optimize a number of energy and water components including but not limited to energy performance, indoor air quality and water efficiencies and protections.. The terminal includes manatee protections and pollution discharge protections, and plans to have shore power capabilities by fall 2023.
The terminal, completed in Fall 2020, welcomed its first guests in August 2021 upon the cruise line’s return to service in the US.
