The Sustainable Airport Manual™ (SAM®) Terminal Occupants (TO), formerly Concessions & Tenants, is designed to certify the sustainability of concession and tenant activities, including daily operations and well as design and construction of new facilities within the terminals. This section is divided into two: the TO - Design & Construction (TO-DC) and the TO - Operations & Maintenance (TO-OM). The TO-DC section only pertains to the build-out or interior renovations within the terminals. Any construction or major exterior renovations of non-terminal tenant spaces would follow the guidelines of the SAM Design & Construction (DC) chapter. The TO-OM section pertains to all terminal occupants.

The SAM Green Airplane Rating System for TO - DC uses a five-tier approach to rating a tenant similar to the DC rating system. "Green Airplane Certification℠" symbols are used to designate achievements levels.
The SAM DC chapter encourages airport designers and contractors to implement sustainable practices to reduce the environmental impacts of not only the design features of a given project, but also construction activities, and the operational aspects of the building or infrastructure project. Specifically, the rating system addresses site issues, water and energy usage, materials and resources used for building the project, waste management and indoor/outdoor environmental quality.
