The US Green Building Council (USGBC) has honored the $737 million renovation project of TBIT for its efforts at maximizing operational efficiency along with minimizing environmental impacts. The terminal renovation has ensured 20% energy savings and 24% water conservation.

About 60% of the terminal's one million square feet interior has received improvements and 45,000 square feet of new space has been added to house the inline baggage screening facility.

The terminal received significant upgrades to its environmental management system including automating the building’s lighting control system using high-efficiency fluorescent lighting with dimmable ballast, and installing more energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The project also focused on materials and resource conservation, with more than 75% of construction and demolition waste recycled or salvaged.

The renovation of the 1984-opened building included major interior renovations to the departures/ticketing lobby, customs and immigration arrivals hall, arrivals corridors and waiting area as well as modifications to two gates, including a two-level gate to accommodate new aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787.
