ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER
GREEN PROGRAM
 We are a LEED Existing Buildings / Operations and
Maintenance certified Building
 86% of our ongoing consumable purchases and 85%
of our electronic purchases meet strict LEED
guidelines for sustainability
 Aramark Leisure Services, the exclusive Catering and
Concessionaire for the Anaheim Convention Center,
implemented a Sustainability Program in 2004.
 All toilet paper, paper towels and toilet seat covers are
made from 100% recyclable material.
 We have (2) trash compactors on site that are
dedicated to cardboard recycling.
 We have (2) bailers that compress various recyclables
such as plastic and aluminum which are then recycled
offsite by Anaheim Disposal.
 All mixed trash is sorted for recycling offsite by
Anaheim Disposal. At Least 54% of the waste is
diverted from the landfill. In 2014, 64% of the waste
was diverted from the landfill.
 70% of all waste was diverted from the landfill in 2014
through a combination of our onsite and offset
recycling efforts.
 All Concession Stands at the Convention Center are
equipped with recycling trash cans for plastic bottles;
there are plastic bottle cans next to each trash can in
the lobbies.
 Aramark has also purchased its own herd of free
range, grass fed cattle.
 78% of our cleaning purchases meet strict LEED
criteria for sustainability.
 We have replaced our high energy T12 fluorescent
lamps to T8 lamps in the Exhibit Halls. The T8 lamps
generate the same or a greater amount of light as the
T12 lamps, but consume about ¼ of the energy.
 We have changed out our parking lot / exterior lighting
to induction lighting. In CP6, we changed out the T12
fluorescent lamps to T8 fluorescent lamps with motion
sensors.
 We have changed out all of our T12 fluorescent lamps
to T8 fluorescent lamps in the Arena and surrounding
buildings.
 All Meeting Rooms have T8 energy efficient lamps.
 The Lobby area has T5 energy efficient lamps.
 We have a 300,000 square foot solar array on our
Exhibit Hall roofs (A, B & C) which produce 2.37
Megawatts of clean, renewable, sustainable electrical
power.

 Exhibit Hall D has photo voltaic panels on the roof
which generate electricity resulting in less of a
demand on our public utilities.
 In August of 2004, we increased the foot candle level
(lighting level) inside the Arena by four times and
decreased the electric cost by 90%.
 In all lobbies on the 2nd and 3rd floor, we changed from
250 watt par 38 lamps to ER 75-30 lamps resulting in
approximately 60% savings in electricity.
 A lighting computer runs the entire building and the
computer is programmed to turn the lights on/off as
necessary in order to conserve energy.
 All lobby and finger lobby areas have cleaning
switches to assist cleaning crews. Lights remain on in
specific areas in two hour increments in order to
conserve electricity.
 We now install electronic ballast to save energy on our
H.I.D fixtures in the Exhibit Halls.
 We recycle all used fluorescent and H.I.D. lamps, all
batteries and all electronic equipment such as
computers, VCR’s, televisions, and all cardboard.
 The Reader Board and Scoreboard in the Arena have
LED lamps instead of incandescent lamps.
 Restrooms are equipped with energy efficient toilets
and motion sensor sinks to conserve water.
 All Lobby carpet on all levels is certified “green.”
 Where applicable, any outdated HVAC equipment is
replaced with energy efficient models determined by
recommendations from the Utilities Department.
 We have a comprehensive Employee Commuter
Reduction Program and our annual Percentage Trip
Reduction is 31%.
 We have employed the use of water saving plumbing
fixtures and fittings and have achieved over 30%
saving on our water consumption.
 We have put into place strict energy conservation
rules about the use of the escalators, the air
conditioning systems, and the lighting.
 We have a recycling area we call the Anaheim
Convention Center Green Zone where plastic,
cardboard, aluminum, glass, electronics, kitchen
grease, and paper are separated and food waste is
composted.
 We are testing a system that allows for chemical-free
cooling tower water and promises to save over
6,000,000 gallons of water annually.
 6,000-10,000 pounds of telecommunications
wire/cable is directly diverted from the landfill and
recycled annually.
 In 2012 our irrigation systems were upgraded to Smart
Irrigation Controllers which automatically tailor
watering schedules and run times on sprinklers or drip
systems to meet specific landscape needs, and use
weather information or site conditions to determine
how much water to apply and when to run. Studies
show most smart controllers will save about 25% of
the water applied by a traditional controller.
 8/31/15: We changed (280) 250 watt lamps to a 19
watt LED lamps, for a total of 70,000 watts down to
5,320 watts, about 7.6% the usage for that area.
Additionally, LED’s last 10 times longer, significantly
reducing labor spent on re-lamping.
