We are determined to reduce energy usage and save millions of kilowatt hours of electricity per year by replacing and retrofitting light bulbs. We revamped the heating and air conditioning design to enhance efficiency and installed high speed automatically closing dock doors to maintain temperature in the Exhibit Halls.

Millions of gallons of water are being saved every year by replacing plumbing fixtures. We have installed low flush commodes and a more efficient cooling tower.

Energy Conservation is a critical component in our GREEN Practices. By reducing the lighting load or not running escalators during move-in or move-out, you are participating in our energy conservation program.

GREEN PRACTICES/RECYCLING, cont’d With the use of environmentally safe and friendly cleaning products, and recycled products in our offices and food service areas, we are paying more attention to the environment and our place in it.

Recycling is a big portion of being GREEN and one of the easiest ways you can get involved in the KBHCCD GREEN practices. It not only reduces costs for you, your attendees and exhibitors, but also reduces landfill space and energy used. Encourage your general contractor and exhibitors to take an active role in recycling. When they use recyclable materials, trash is diverted from landfills. You will ultimately save on your bottom line, as there are no charges for recycling hauls as there are for additional trash hauls.

If you have a sponsor for your recycling programs, depending on the situation, we may be able to feature them in conjunction with our recycling program for your event. Speak with your Event Coordinator on this and other ways to GREEN your meeting.

MATERIALS RECYCLED    

Paper: High Grade (white) and Low Grade (mixed colors, coated paper, computer paper, carbonless forms, envelopes with or without plastic windows, file folders, magazines, newspapers and misc.)

Cardboard Bottles: plastic and glass Metal cans (steel, aluminum, tin, etc.)

HOUSEKEEPING Professional, efficient and friendly, our cleaning staff takes great pride in maintaining an immaculate facility from top to bottom, inside and out.

Trash receptacles provided by the contractor (i.e. within registration areas, show offices, meeting rooms, and exhibit space) must be serviced by your general contractor.

Bulk trash is defined as boxes, crates, lumber, pallets, packing materials. Additional charges will be assessed for removal of these items.

HOUSEKEEPING, CONT’D Confetti and loose glitter will be assessed a clean-up fee. A request detailing the use of confetti must be submitted to KBHCCD Management a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the first move-in day of your event.

PUBLIC ART “LIGHTSTREAM” in A - B LOBBIES The “Lightstream” public art display hanging from the ceiling in the A and B Lobbies is a preprogrammed lighting installation. It seeks to build on the power of an extremely long space by creating continuous kinetic light effects along the entire ceiling of the lobbies. By placing scores of floating dichroic “light sticks” suspended in an apparently random arrangement, flowing pools of color are painted across the ceiling, and a feeling of continuous change and process is affected. Crowds of conventioneers form an additional random element, further layering the composition. Microprocessors control the movement and fading of the light sequences in subtle watery patterns, with waves of light washing from one end to the other, or sometimes crossing in the middle, rippling like liquid in a wave tank.

Please be aware this is the only lighting available in the area. The brightness of the area varies based on outdoor conditions. Additional lighting may be required depending on your event’s specific needs.

The large graphic prints highlight cultural activities held in venues of the Dallas Arts District.

TERRAZZO FLOORS in C - F LOBBIES KBHCCD’s public art installation of the Terrazzo Floors is a picture album that tells the story of Dallas and our inhabitants, our accomplishments, diversity, and aspirations. The Convention Center not only recounts and displays the history of the city—it is the heart of the city as well. Millions of people from all areas of the world and all walks of life gather here each year and, for many, the Convention Center is the focal point of their Dallas experience. More than 135 artists applied, only seven were chosen to participate in this monumental project. Ultimately, they produced a dynamic visual record of the city’s past influences, its present human condition and the future. Never before had the City of Dallas attempted a public art program of this kind. It is, by far, the largest collaboration of artists ever undertaken. The resulting creation is a kaleidoscope of images that defines the history of this area and the spirit of the city.

Special care is taken to protect the terrazzo floors; more information is available under “Lobbies”.

RAFFLES In Texas, in order to conduct a raffle legally, a nonprofit organization must have, among other criteria, an exemption from federal taxes under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. A qualified nonprofit must also have been in existence for three years. The law permits only two raffles per calendar year, requires several disclosures printed on tickets, and limits the value of prizes purchased by the organization to $50,000, or $250,000 if the purchased prize is a residential dwelling.

It is also against the law to hold a raffle in which cash, or anything readily convertible to cash, is offered as a prize, or which is promoted statewide or through paid advertising, including television, radio or newspapers.

An unlawful raffle could be considered illegal gambling, which may carry criminal penalties. A county attorney, district attorney or the attorney general may also shut down an illegal raffle.
