Denver Union Station Bus Concourse Earns LEED Gold Certification
The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded LEED® Gold certification to the Denver Union Station Bus Concourse, a 22-gate underground facility for Regional Transportation District (RTD) buses.
The concourse achieved certification for implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.
For example, RTD recycled or salvaged 92 percent of all construction/demolition debris, used 26 percent of all building materials from recycled content, and reduced water use by 35 percent with low-flow appliances in public restrooms.
“RTD continues to be a leader in the transit industry: There are less than a dozen transit centers in North America to be LEED certified, and the Union Station Bus Concourse is the second transit center in Colorado to receive this certification,” said RTD Board Chair Chuck Sisk. “We are thrilled to be a part of this list and hope that more transit centers follow in our footsteps.”
