The RICC recycles about 62.5% of its total waste, including bottles and cans, food and beverage and show floor cardboard, and administrative office paper. High- output, high-wattage lighting fixtures have been replaced in the garages, and the new fixtures operate on daylight and occupancy sensors. Emergency stairwells feature upgraded lighting and occupancy sensors. More than 400 incandescent light fixtures have been replaced with fluorescent fixtures in the Center's Ballroom, which use approximately 5-10 times less wattage.
Air handler filters for various air handlers are changed semi- annually rather than annually to improve air flow, resulting in energy savings. Green chemicals are used in the RICC's water treatment program. Plans for future improvements include replacing more than 300 fixtures in the connector tunnel between the Westin Hotel and RICC, looking into the use of "green" light bulbs and/or solar energy, and using more green products for cleaning and maintenance.
