PHOENIX — The Phoenix Convention Center is a massive building at more than one million square feet in size, which obviously requires a lot of energy to keep the lights on, technology working, and air at a comfortable temperature.
ABC15 took a tour of an underground sustainable energy plant that powers nearly four dozen downtown Phoenix buildings, including the convention center.
The energy facility is expanding further as it works to keep up with demand.
Watch the video in the player above to learn more about the energy plant and how it is positively impacting our Earth.
The convention center also boasts other sustainable practices like seating made from recycled materials, biodegradable dishware, composting efforts, LED lights, organic growing partners, and more.
ABC15 Meteorologist Ashlee DeMartino has been covering the sustainability efforts of major events and businesses around the Valley and state. See more of that coverage below or head to our Impact Earth section.
