04. The Syllabus: C. Sport and Sustainable Infrastucture
Fields Of Change: A Sustainability Handbook
So what does this look like in practice? Here are some examples from projects planned for Year 1 and Year 2 of Move for the Planet: Waste Management and Eco-Friendly Material: Surface of the pitch: Refurbish with eco-friendly materials. Upcycled sport infrastructures: Reprocessing plastics/waste into sport equipments or surrounding assets such as stands, corner flags, bins, goal posts, changing rooms, benches and protective meshes. Annexes/Shelters: Wooden pavilion to be used as a meeting and relaxation corner for participants that need to be protected from extreme heatwaves. Cooling Solutions: Nature based solutions: Green walls, community gardens, tree planting, green pathways, plants and green roofs. Heat deflecting paint shading structures (shading nets, shading canopy, roof over the spectators tribunes, etc). Energy Management: Solar panels (for renewable energy, decrease dependence on the grid, facilitate pitch usage during the warmest months) and SMART LED system. Water Management/Rainwater Harvesting: Water capture and purification system for drinking water, or to ensure that the grounds do not deteriorate due to a lack of water in extreme heat and drought conditions.
Embodied carbon reduction strategy 40
Repurpose/refurbish buildings Design flexible and adaptable structures.
BUILD NOTHING
Build only to meet needs of communities/cities Maximise utilisation of buildings. Less fit-out.
BUILD LESS
Reuse materials Design for deconstruction and reuse. Use low carbon materials/products.
BUILD CLEVER
Minimise design loads Use efficient forms and grids. Maximise material utilisation.
BUILD EFFICIENTLY
MINIMISE WASTE
Prefabricate Improve construction practices. Utilise reuse or recycling streams.
