Energy
We are also incorporating energy conservation measures into our planning for other official Convention venues. At the Pepsi Center media pavilions, we are selecting high-efficiency lighting systems and using compact fluorescent, LED and solar powered lighting wherever possible. We hope to include solar arrays to assist with clean power needs. In areas where generators will absolutely be required, our goal is to fuel them by a minimum of 20 percent biodiesel.
The Pepsi Center has also been working independently to institute long-term sustainability measures on site. The Pepsi Center is installing a permanent solar array that will be operational before the Convention and long after our nominee has been chosen in Denver. In conjunction with the Pepsi Center, as well as the Convention Center and Hyatt Regency Headquarters Hotel, a percentage of the power supplied to these venues will be 100% powered by wind energy through Green-e certified renewable energy credits.
