Fairmont Kea Lani achieves green certification for renovation
Fairmont Kea Lani has achieved LEED Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The certification follows a multi-year renovation of the resort’s 413 suites and 37 villas, guestroom corridors and public spaces.
According to a news release, the certification was awarded for the implementation of practical and measurable strategies across a range of sustainability categories including sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, responsible materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. These efforts not only support sustainable operations but also foster healthier, more comfortable spaces for both guests and colleagues.
“Achieving LEED Silver Certification is a powerful reflection of our values and our responsibility to this place we call home,” said Michael Pye, regional vice president, Fairmont Hawai’i & General Manager, Fairmont Kea Lani. “Our transformation was rooted in the Hawaiian concept of ‘Mauka to Makai’ — from the mountains to the sea — and every design and construction decision was made with a deep respect for Hawai’i’s natural and cultural resources.”
