Sacramento's nickname is the City of Trees and the design for the airport was directly inspired by the canopy affect of the tree-lined streets. The terminal is a reinterpretation of those shady streets featuring tall structural posts and a canopy of beams]]> Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport Sacramento International Airport, corgan associates, fentress architects, sacramento, leed silver, daylighting, green airport

Habitat for Humanity’s Kent County Chapter has always been a leader in the field of affordable and sustainable housing and even built the nation’s first affordable LEED certified home under the LEED for Homes pilot project way back in 2006. Due the success of the first home, the chapter made a commitment in 2007 to make sure future families would live in homes built to a minimum LEED Silver Certification. Currently, they have surpassed the Silver level and have progressed to LEED Gold Certified Homes as their new standard house. It is estimated (based on their earliest LEED Homes) that annual savings costs for electric, water, and heating will be at least $1,000 per home per year. The extra money available every month eases the hard decision between heat and food for families who live close to the poverty line.
