Public transportationTo be net-zero carbon - which eliminates carbon in the first place versus identifying carbon offsets, as in a carbon-neutral approach - transportation tracking is a critical component of a successful strategy. Since Seattle’s electric grid is almost completely powered by renewables, the change to all electric will save 1,470 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year compared to the baseline - that’s the same as 320 passenger vehicles emitting greenhouse gases for one year. The arena and its operations are electric, eliminating fossil fuels completely. The arena also features waterless urinals, ultra-efficient showers and water bottle filling stations, as well as significant on-site retention tanks that reduce storm water runoff.Īll electric The arena houses solar panels on the roof of the main entrance atrium and on a parking garage across the street, which are projected to generate 570,000 kilowatt hours annually - enough to power over 53 American homes for an entire year. The facility is designed to harvest water off the roof, collect it into a 15,000-gallon cistern, and turn it into the greenest ice in the NHL. Rain to rinkClimate Pledge Arena aims to make the most of Seattle’s rainy climate. The feature has been installed in food and beverage locations within the facility and allows for patrons to select their items, charge them to their account using their phone, and leave without having to pay through a cashier. Grab and goAlong with Amazon’s naming rights to the arena, the venue features the online retailer’s grab-and-go “Just Walk Out” technology. These outdoor plaza displays brand the facility immediately upon arrival, and parking displays give real-time direction to help with traffic flow. Outside the arena, Daktronics supplied 51 LED displays totaling 3,830 square feet to communicate with people as they pass by and arrive for events. These include atrium bridge displays, The Climate Pledge Living Wall featuring 200 feet of live plants and LED activations on the main concourse, and east concourse picture frame features. The 100 interior LED displays are installed in varying locations throughout, totaling 13,175 square feet.
Specifically, Daktronics supplied ample displays throughout the concourses and atriums of the arena. The immersive LED experience displays wayfinding, events and partner promotion throughout the user journey, as well as atmospheric imagery that is customizable for each event. Wayfinding the easy wayThe arena boasts 28,175 square feet of digital signage incorporating 145 million total pixels. Climate Pledge Arena is the focus of this issue’s Tech Roundup because it is a showcase of cutting-edge technologies and design that make for not only a facility, but also one that supports a second-to-none fan experience.ĭouble visionArchitecture firm Populous designed dual suspended arena scoreboards - a signature element of Climate Pledge Arena. The firm says the task required a thorough analysis of on-ice and on-court action for hockey and basketball, spectator and athlete sightlines, and flexibility for shows and concerts. The result is a pair of distinctly shaped video displays that place digital content in an ideal location for spectators, improving the atmosphere and connection between fans on opposite sides of the seating bowl.
