In May 2025, Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui achieved LEED Silver® certification with its transformational guestroom and lobby renovation. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED is the preeminent program for the design, construction, maintenance and operations of high-performance green buildings and considered the benchmark in the green building industry.

Inspired by “Mauka to Makai”—from the mountains to the sea—and celebrating the Hawaiian experience and a new era of island luxury, the renovation updated 450 guestrooms, guestroom corridors, and the hotel’s lobby and public space. Sustainability features include:

• 83% of energy supplied through green power and REC purchases or generated from an 800 kW on-site rooftop solar system
• Over 30% reduction in energy costs through energy efficiency, LED lighting and on-site renewable energy generation
• More than 32% reduction in indoor water use through the installation of low-flow fixtures and other water efficient technologies
• Nearly 36% of construction waste diverted from landfills through circular strategies such as material recovery, responsible deconstruction, and furniture liquidation, while maintaining key structural and architectural elements to reduce environmental impact.  
• Use of low-emissions and non-toxic materials throughout the renovation to promote health and well-being 
• Strict indoor air quality management program during construction to protect the health, safety and well-being of workers and future guests
