Green Ideas Building Science Consultants is excited to announce that the new Chase Sapphire Lounge at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona has achieved LEED for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) Gold level certification on 4-14-25 . The 3,592 SF lounge space project is located in Concourse Level 3 in Terminal 4. The lounge was awarded LEED-CI certification due to Chase’s impressive commitment to high-performance design and construction practices. The certification will greatly reduce the company’s operating and maintenance costs for years to come.
Working with the Chase AEC team of Alston Construction, Corgan and GLUMAC Engineers, Green Ideas supported the project with creation of a Construction Waste Management Plan, Indoor Air Quality Management Plan, an Indoor Air Quality Assessment, and selection / purchasing of sustainable materials that have Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) available…all to satisfy the typical general contractor’s responsibilities within the LEED program.
Designed to elevate their member’s airport lounge experience, Chase has developed several Sapphire Lounge projects in airports around the globe including Boston’s Logan International Airport, the Austin-Bergstrom Airport, Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, and the Hong Kong International Airport. Amenities at the lounges include spaces for working or relaxing, wellness areas, private bathrooms with showers, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, and local food and beverage options.

Participating in the Chase Sapphire Lounge project is especially significant for Green Ideas, as the company completed the Terminal 4 South Concourse 1 project at Sky Harbor International Airport last year with McCarthy Construction. That project achieved LEED for New Construction (LEED-NC) Silver level certification on 10-28-24.
Green Ideas is the go-to firm for Architecture-Engineering-Construction professionals due to their innovative approach to helping project teams achieve the highest levels of LEED certification for their clients. After more than 22 years in business, Green Ideas continues to find inspiration in every new project, adding to their reputation for achieving higher levels of LEED certification than initially targeted.
