Abstract

Sport stadiums are the main elements of sports infrastructure, so it is worth reconsidering the development of those buildings in order to increase their efficiency, their life span, and save energy, through applying sustainable design concepts during the planning phase. This seems more relevant rather than doing some superficial renovations and replacing existing energy systems and finishes with higher efficiency. The design process should be considered as an integrated system that incorporate the application of passive design strategies and redesigning of building systems using natural ventilation and lighting. This necessitates integration of control systems and taking advantage of renewable energy sources to get the maximum possible energy saving, and reducing thermal loads of the building. An empirical study was conducted to develop the stadium of Borg Al Arab, Alexandria, which depends on building energy performance assessment through applying energy evaluation points derived from the various rating systems. Solutions and treatments are proposed to improve energy efficiency during the operating phase. The expected energy savings ratios after application sustainable solutions and treatments were achieved by using Revit and Ecotect software. A set of systematic steps for achieving sustainability of sports stadiums is concluded.
