read moreThe Green Sports Alliance (GSA) has released the ‘Energy Decarbonization Playbook’ – a comprehensive guide aimed at transforming energy consumption and decarbonisation strategies in venues, setting a new standard for environmental stewardship in the sports and entertainment industry.
Roger McClendon, Executive Director of GSA notes “In an era where the impact of climate change is felt across the glove, it is incumbent upon us, as leaders in the sports industry, to spearhead transformative initiatives that inspire change and contribute to a more sustainable planet.”
The Playbook lays out the fundamentals of making smart energy decisions for the future, creating a synergy that enhances the overall experience for athletes, fans, and the communities for which venues serve.
Building on the foundation of the ‘Building for the Next Generation Playbook’ released in 2023, the Energy Decarbonization Playbook delves deeper into sustainable practices related to energy, such as GHG tracking, reduction, electrification, renewable energy, and resilience.
This vital resource was crafted in collaboration with industry leaders including 3R, APTIM, Blue Strike Environmental, CES Power, Honeywell, KERAMIDA Inc., McKinstry, Okapi, Populous, RWDI, Tata Consultancy Services, Viridis Initiative, Agendi, Cherry Street Energy, and D’Niche Inc. It was meticulously vetted by the CRS, International Living Future Institute, New Buildings Institute, TechFlow, and the U.S. Green Building Council.
