SUSTAINABILITY
MGM National Harbor is the first integrated resort in the Washington, DC region to achieve LEED Gold certification. Sustainable elements include:
- Rainwater Harvesting: A 700,000-gallon cistern collects and stores rainwater captured from the roof.
- Water Conservation: High-efficiency fixtures reduce water consumption by more than 45 percent.
- Resiliency: A large combined heat and power energy plant generates on-site electricity.
- Energy Efficiency: LED lighting technology allows for less direct lighting energy to be consumed and reduces the required cooling energy.
- Alternative transportation: The garage includes 28 electric vehicle charging stations and 185 low-emitting, fuel-efficient vehicle parking spaces.
- Waste and Recycling: More than 96 percent, over 15,000 tons, of construction waste was diverted from landfills during construction.
This project achieved LEED® Gold certification and was also awarded:
- 2017 ENR MidAtlantic Excellence in Safety Award of Merit
- 2017 Washington Building Congress Craftsmanship Star Award for visual excellence and awards for concrete and electrical work
