Introduction

The construction of a new clubhouse Hockey club AthenA in Amsterdam East is gained knowledge about sustainable building. The need and conviction to share this largely innovative knowledge and experience has led to broader initiative Smart Sport Parks in Amsterdam East. Here we aim to further stimulate an innovative form of cooperation between sports clubs, community organizations and capabilities include energy efficiency / generation and smart lighting the autonomy of the sports and recreation park.

Reason to Be Selected

A Social Cost Benefit Analysis and calculation tool (roadmap) are arranged and offer an assessment framework for sports organizations to switch to sustainable and economically viable lighting for sports fields (LED). For the different associations made an inventory of the number of light poles, fixtures, consumption and maintenance costs. It will be investigated in the fields relevant a natural time for replacement / installation of the lighting field. Options include football, tennis, ice skating and hockey.

Highlights:

·achieving efficiency in overall energy consumption

·exploit opportunities for energy generation

·Ecosystem objectives actively support

·Create community among stakeholders

·Seize opportunities through collaboration

Details

Smart Sport Parks has defined three focus areas on the basis of a series of meetings Energy, Lighting and community.

From various organizations gathered basic information, such as year of construction, energy, technical descriptions. A number of associations have received an initial opinion on the basis of an energy scan. Now the translation made into concrete solutions for energy saving, efficiency and generation, both overall and per clubhouse. Football WVHEDW was the first association realized the purchase of solar panels and will generate more than 5,000 kWh of energy from this summer. HC AthenA and possibly other clubs follow the end of the year 2013. Lighting

Community

A number of associations is working on developing a plan for the Smart Sportpark. In the framework of cooperation looks at various topics on which the Sportpark can stand strong together, such as joint waste collection, exchange of knowledge / expertise of members, parking. It also gained knowledge with other initiatives in the field of sports management.
