Green Purchases
The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center uses environmentally friendly cleaning products to contribute to a cleaner effluent.
Recycling
The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center offers free recycling collections with multiple recycling areas for attendees in the front of the house, and dedicated collection areas for cardboard, metal, pallets, and plastic in the back of the house. All Internet and phone cables are recycled, decreasing all cooper diverted to landfills.
Energy & Efficiency
The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center is working to minimize the Convention Center's energy use through automated scheduling, turning off escalators in unoccupied areas, and reducing light. High-speed dock doors are used, which means efficient temperature control inside exhibit halls. High-efficiency motors are also installed throughout the HVAC system replacing old high energy-consuming motors.
Material & Food
The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center makes it their mission to reduce food and material waste. They have collected 7.6 tons of unconsumed food, which then is donated to local non-profits, serving those in need.
