We are Green

At the BT Convention Centre we know you have a choice of venues and realise that sustainability and green issues are a key factor when deciding where to host your events. As part of ACC Liverpool, BT Convention Centre is one of the greenest venues in Europe, specifically designed with the most energy efficient, environmentally-friendly green criteria in mind.

A brand new, sparkly venue with a fresh and innovative approach to conferencing and events, ACC Liverpool has been designed to produce half the CO2 emissions it would without any environmentally-friendly measures whilst using 20% less electricity – lighting, for instance, is high efficiency and controlled by motion detection.

We are the only BREEAM accredited venue in the UK: the entire building is designed to be inherently efficient, with an insulation and air control system that requires significantly less energy than a traditional build. Outside, rainwater is collected on the roof which is used to flush toilets, accounting for about 40% of the water used for flushing toilets in the venue; five 20-metre low noise wind turbines on the riverside of the venue contribute to our electricity supply.

Which means that before you even start to assess your impact, we’ve taken you half way to ensuring that your event is as sustainable as possible.

Our commitment to the environment is more than just skin deep. ACC Liverpool’s Green Dream Team creates and develops ideas that change the way we do business to make it greener and cleaner, as well as supporting our hotel and tourism partners to do the same. And our suppliers and support teams are chosen not just on their service and expertise, but on their environmental ethos too.

Now, that's refreshing; we don't just talk about our green credentials, we deliver them to each and every event.
