Green Construction Revenue Increases by 73%

The company attributed this growth primarily to sustainable data center and commercial construction activity.
These projects form an important part of Turner’s wider construction portfolio.

Its approach includes incorporating sustainability objectives during early project planning.
This allows project teams to consider environmental performance throughout design and construction.
Turner Focuses on Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction
Turner Construction is advancing several initiatives to improve sustainability across its projects.
These include energy-efficient building design, embodied carbon reduction and the use of lower-carbon materials.
The company also promotes circular construction practices that support more efficient material use.
Meanwhile, jobsite operations focus on improving energy, waste and water management.
These measures aim to reduce the environmental impact of construction activities.
Furthermore, Turner supports its sustainability programmes through performance tracking and employee training.
The company continues to develop technical expertise and innovative solutions for sustainable construction.
Intuit Dome Achieves LEED Platinum Certification
One example of Turner’s sustainable construction portfolio is Intuit Dome, a sports and entertainment arena.
The facility has achieved LEED Platinum certification, a recognised standard for green building performance.
According to Turner, the arena is also positioned to become the first carbon-neutral arena.
However, that carbon-neutral milestone remains a stated objective rather than a completed achievement.
The project highlights how sustainability measures can be incorporated into large sports and entertainment facilities.
