In November of 2020, GREENFOOT presented at EFDN’s Annual Conference. This presentation focused on interactive engagement with prominent stakeholders within EFDN’s network to communicate how energy efficiency and the GREENFOOT solution could fit into their social responsibility strategies, and emphasized why building managers and clubs should replicate the GREENFOOT concept in their own stadiums. 

There were two GREENFOOT sessions at the Conference. The first was a presentation, where Jed Cohen (EI-JKU) explained the GREENFOOT vision and then Fabrizio Tavaroli (RINA) showed interesting technical solutions in sports buildings and how these can improve the functionality of the building and save energy/money. There were a number of attendees to this presentation, all of whom are professionals in the sports world. The video of this session is freely available at:  https://youtu.be/str8FLo1h5s

The second session was a roundtable discussion led by Jed Cohen and Fabrizio Tavaroli from the GREENFOOT project. At this discussion other sports teams shared their interests in energy topics and got a deeper understanding of the GREENFOOT solution.

    The European Union is doubling down on its objecti The European Union is doubling down on its objective to #decarbonise buildings, as #Europe steps up efforts to decrease its reliance on fossil fuels imported from Russia. 

EURACTIV, with the support of GreenFoot, released this special report in order to cover the topic in its entirety and help you understand better the European #energy decarbonisation.

    Considering that sports buildings account for arou Considering that sports buildings account for around 10% of the total energy demand in some countries, it is definitely worth talking about reducing the carbon footprint of these structures, writes Benjamin Kirchler, research associate at the Enerfieinstitut der Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, the coordinating partner of the GREENFOOT project.

To understand the potential of crowdfunding for #football organizations to leverage their large fan base to fund building renovations, GREENFOOT conducted an extensive primary data collection among ~3,500 citizens in #Azerbaijan, #France, #Ireland and #Sweden.

Overall, 43% indicated being interested in professional football and 37% are most likely to follow their national team. The increasing perception and recognition of anthropogenic climate change is also evident in the survey. Around 51% indicate to be either very or extremely concerned about #climate change. Environmental conscious citizens are also more likely to engage and contribute to sustainable crowdfunding.

One of the potential barriers to #crowdfunding is unfamiliarity with the concept and an associated lack of trust. Trust is built through knowledge and experience, but the average population has accumulated relatively little experience and less than 12% have actively participated in crowdfunding.

    In recent years, we have seen several stadiums imp In recent years, we have seen several stadiums implement specific guidelines to make their stadiums more and more sustainable. 

The Groupama Arena promotes sustainability in the district of Budapest following four directives in their green pathway. According to their strategy, they work according to these four pillars: 

PIONEER: We are committed to building Hungary’s first carbon-neutral stadium in the name of renewal. With this we want to set an example and inspire.

LOCAL INTEGRATION : On the road to complete carbon neutrality, we implement not only large-scale but also small-scale projects that are very important for the protection of the environment, giving our suppliers and partners the opportunity to actively participate and create value.

INNOVATIVE: We try to apply the latest technological solutions to all elements of the Green Arena program, we are constantly increasing our knowledge and following the relevant trends.

VALUE CREATOR: We strive to create value together with our suppliers and partners and share it with others. Not only do we want to set an example, but we also want to encourage individuals and communities alike. In order to strengthen the guidelines, we have launched our Green Aréna program, which aims to be the greenest club in the OTP Bank League.“

Besides this, they created the “Zöld Aréna Programját”, Green Arena Programme which is an engagement in the sustainability operation of the stadium. Within this programme, the stadium has day-to-day operation in order to reduce the ecological footprint of his facility.
