Mall Of America

Mall of America is committed to sustainable energy initiatives through best operational practices, cutting edge technology + long-term investments.

MOA does not use a central heating system; instead, 70 degrees is maintained year-round with passive solar energy from 1.2 miles of skylights and heat generated from lighting, store fixtures + body heat
More than 30,000 live plants and 300 live trees act as natural air purifiers within MOA
Completing the largest LED parking garage lighting conversion in the nation reduced electrical consumption by 7 million KWH annually
MOA recycles more than 60% of its waste—an average of 32,000 tons per year
MOA recycles more than 2,400 tons of food waste to a local hog farm, which feeds more than 1 million hog meals annually
MOA converts the fat from restaurant fryers into more than 4,000 pounds of biodiesel per month—enough fuel for a 53-foot semi-truck to travel from New York to Los Angeles five times
MOA has more than 275 water-efficient toilets that save over 1.4 million gallons of water a year
The newest entrance to Mall of America, located on the north side of the building, includes a state-of-the-art electrochromic glass skylight that adds to the esthetics of the building and results in substantial energy savings
