MINNEAPOLIS—Radisson Blu Mall of America has officially received LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). According to the company, it is the only hotel in the greater Minneapolis – St. Paul metropolitan region to receive LEED certification.
The hotel was awarded its LEED certification after passing a third-party certification review process that incorporated hundreds of checkpoints designed to ensure a high level of eco-friendliness. Radisson Blu Mall of America conserves water and electricity by using linen-less meeting room tables and saves energy by programming the heating and cooling systems in meeting rooms to only be on when the rooms are being used. Additionally, the hotel recycles guestroom soap through Clean the World, a non-profit whose mission is to save lives by providing children and families in countries with high death rates due to pneumonia and cholera with recycled amenities such as soap and shampoo.
Radisson Blu Mall of America joins Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago, which has also received this certification.
Radisson Blu Mall of America was designed by ESG Architects.
