use of the polycarbonate sheet reduces the amount of material required for structural supports. The
polycarbonate being a plastic is a fully recyclable material.
- The innovative transparent roof and facade design maximises daylight to the building interior
and to the pitch.
- Low carbon concrete was used in the stadium structure to reduce the embodied energy of
the building while also achieving a high standard of finish in the exposed in-situ and pre-cast
concrete. The CO2 saving achieved through the specification of ground granulated blast furnace
slag cement is estimated at 4000 tonnes, equating to 6, 896,500 kWh of electricity.
- All timber was specified to be from sustainable resources.
- Conservation of water is achieved through the specification of waterless urinals, sensor taps and
dual flush cisterns. It is estimated that the use of waterless urinals provides a saving of 20,000
litres of water on an event day alone. With an average of 20 large scale events every year this
represents an annual saving of 400,000 litres. Day to day savings are in addition to this.
- Rainwater is harvested, treated and stored for use in the pitch irrigation system. The capacity
of the tanks, is 250,000 litres, which is sufficient for approx. 6 days irrigation.
- The lighting control system is a distributed intelligent control system where PCS are used for
central control and monitoring of the 18,000 low energy light fittings throughout the building. The
stadium operators are able to set up entire zones, individual rooms, sports lighting etc before
an event, such that areas that are not in use can be easily identified and deactivated.
- Each of the four diesel powered 1700kVA generators is fitted with full heat recovery circuits
enabling 4MW of useful heat to be used for heating water for bathrooms, kitchens and the
under pitch heating system.
- Those areas that are in use on an event day only (levels 01 and 05) are not heated and are
naturally ventilated.
- All pumps and air handling plant are the inverter drive type to reduce energy consumption.
- Energy saving features of the Building Management System include intelligent controls for
energy consuming installations e.g escalators which are fitted with sensors ensuring they only
operate when required.
- Sports lighting was carefully modelled, with glare shields and long visors specified to minimise
light spill from the stadium bowl.
- Services equipment was specified to emit not greater than 53dB at one metre to ensure the
stadium has a minimal impact on background noise.
