Sustainability Efforts - Greener Meetings & Events

 

The Palm Springs Convention Center is focused on positively impacting our community in all we do, including how we interact with and affect our environment. We continually look for new opportunities to perfect our processes to become better residents of the Earth.

 

2,574 Solar Panels 

The Palm Springs Convention Center installed 2,574 new solar panels on the roof. Since installation in 2018, the panels produced 6.76 million kWh with a fantastic result of generating 847,000 kWh over what was consumed. To put this in perspective, a 100-watt light bulb operating for 10 hours uses one kilowatt-hour.
