Building Sustainable Stadiums That Serve Their Communities With Veolia
Modern stadium developments have the opportunity to regenerate the community, not just entertain them.
Football stadiums are at the heart of the community, bringing together fans who have provided long lasting support to their club. So why not give something back to the community that supports you?
A sustainable stadium complex, anchored by low-carbon energy and smart infrastructure, can deliver jobs, cleaner air, lower energy bills and social value that lasts long after and outside matchday.
Utilising Low-Carbon Energy Solutions
Implementing energy solutions is important across the design and development of new stadiums as well as the ongoing operation and maintenance. By focusing on both, you ensure your stadium is futureproofed for fans to enjoy. Solutions for stadiums and event complexes under development include district heating and cooling networks that extend beyond the stadium into the surrounding community, making your stadium a low-carbon energy hub for the local area. Sustainable heat pump energy centres create on-site generation from CHP and solar arrays across car parks and rooftops. Waste heat recovery from on-site sources like local data centres, kitchens and cooling plants allow you to redistribute energy across the wider network. Battery storage and smart grid controls allow you to manage matchday demand peaks and export surplus energy to the community.
The Importance of Optimisation and Maintenance
While installing low-carbon solutions is crucial for improved sustainability, efficiency and cost effectiveness, you also need to extend the lifecycle and therefore the value of these solutions via long-term operation of all energy and utility assets under performance-guaranteed contracts, full regulatory compliance management, and 24/7 monitoring, optimisation and planned maintenance. Further to this, carbon reporting, energy performance tracking and continuous improvement aligned with your sustainability commitments are also crucial for long-term energy efficiency.
By partnering with Veolia you can ensure revenue is returned to the club while providing the best experience for your fans. These solutions not only transform and optimise your stadium but they provide a hub for the community, feeding energy into the homes and businesses that support you.
