Greenfoot project5/27/2023 Upgrade of electrical equipment and specific technologies.Ī variety of information has been summarised in the above mentioned Technical Catalogue, organised through 20 technical sheets, including a general description of the function performed, technical details and design parameters, conditions for implementation, strengths and barriers, energy performances and costs savings as well as preliminary information on the adaptability with crowdfunding schemes.Implementation of BMS (Building Management Systems).Modernisation of HVAC systems, plant and equipment.Technologies to exploit RES (renewable energy sources).The most relevant areas of improvements observed have been reported and divided within 6 thematic groups: Offset the remaining building energy needs through use of renewable energy systems.Reduce the need for energy through implementation of energy efficiency measures. ![]() Reducing existing building energy consumption consists of two synergistic approaches: Apart from statistics and estimations, it is a fact that stadiums, arenas, and football training centres of all types consume massive amounts of energy and can be extreme consumers, especially with regards to electricity (lighting, cooling, pumps, specific equipment and hospitality needs during match days, etc.). The analysis of the current building stock confirmed that sports buildings are highly energy-intensive structures due to their structural characteristics and use. These facilities must be renovated and maintained. Most of the current sport facilities were built between the 1960s and the 1980s and at those times energy efficiency was generally not a design consideration. Strengths and barriers were summarized to facilitate informed decision-making during the development of plans for the candidate buildings. The objective was to provide an easy-to-read Technical Catalogue ( publicly available on the project website) collecting a set of suitable solutions for each building category, completed with technical features, detailed information, analysis under the point of view of both energy savings and adaptability with crowdfunding schemes. Then for each sport/football building type, a wide range of applicable energy efficiency renovation solutions have been analysed and proposed, together with their potential impacts. The requirements of each building type, together with its related facilities, varies depending on the activity carried on and on the number of practitioners or occupants in general, a first analysis included some inputs in this perspective. ![]() Clubs headquarters, as complementary sports buildings.Įach typology is characterized by different needs, which have great influence on the energy behavior of the building.Sport and training centres, as exercise sports buildings. ![]() Football stadiums, as competitive sports buildings.Three main building typologies have been identified taking into consideration: Within this framework, one of the first tasks developed by the project was the synthesis of the knowledge and analysis of best practices to perform such interventions in the sport facilities, performed by RINA Consulting project partner. The GREENFOOT project aims to finance sport building Energy Efficiency (EE) renovations and Renewable Energy Sources (RES) installations with crowdfunding schemes that propel Europeans to become active participants in the energy transition through their love of sports and their favorite teams.įrancesco Peccianti is the Project Manager for the GREENFOOT project at RINA Consulting.
