When it reopens, the Austin Convention Center will be setting a global standard as the world’s First Zero Carbon Certified Convention Center—powered by 100% renewable energy, built with low-impact materials, and leading the charge for a cleaner, carbon-free future.
Powered entirely by Austin Energy’s GreenChoice program, the facility operates on carbon-free electricity, reducing fossil fuel reliance.
All-electric operations—including kitchen, HVAC, and hot water systems—ensure a net-zero carbon footprint during use.
Use of mass timber and low-carbon concrete lowers embodied carbon, enhances energy efficiency, and improves indoor air quality.
First City of Austin building project to use new low-carbon concrete specifications and mass timber in a Capital Improvement Project (CIP), paving the way for sustainable building practices in private development.
Salvaged materials from the original center offset emissions equivalent to coast-to-coast driving over 300 times, minimizing construction waste.
