The Vegas Golden Knights want to embrace sustainability in the team’s future community ice arena in downtown Henderson.
Plans submitted to the city for consideration next week call for the arena to house a refrigeration system that would be 100 percent free of greenhouse gas emissions. The system would convert up to 100 percent of the heat generated by the refrigeration process to power systems for heating, cooling, dehumidification and ice floors.
Henderson officials approved a lease with the Golden Knights last month, signaling a major advance in the effort to revitalize downtown. The city wants the ice arena to be an anchor for business development and social activity downtown.
