A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Alberta B. Farrington Softball Stadium on the ASU campus features a 251 kW photovoltaic array that covers 828 seats for fans as they watch games in Tempe. The array produces more electricity annually than the stadium consumes, making it a net zero energy facility. To our knowledge, this is the first major NCAA venue in the nation to achieve carbon neutrality and net zero energy status.

The installation has not been running for a full year at the time of this submission (February 2014), but it is projected to produce over 400,000 MWh of electricity annually, displacing over 200 MT CO2e.
