Busy with other business so am cutting a few corners today and called in my assistants, 'Copy' and 'Paste' to do the work.
From Fifa's website: the Luzhniki Stadium, in Moscow, where the opening match and final will be played, "has received a final certificate of pass from international green standard BREEAM."
What makes it "green"? More from Fifa:
- "Energy conservation at the Luzhniki Stadium is achieved through modern heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, as well as bringing together all essential utilities into one automated central system. This will allow complete monitoring and control of how much energy the building is consuming.
- Using LED-based lamps instead of incandescent lights will save a significant amount of electricity. The lighting outside of the venue was also installed using electricity-saving strategies.
- Water-saving technology at the stadium will allow hundreds of thousands of litres to be saved during a match at full operational capacity.
- Large green spaces and a high number of trees already present on the surrounding territory were preserved during the reconstruction, while even more greenery was also added. According to the stadium managers, 1,050 trees and bushes were planted, and 15,700 squared metres of flower beds were laid down."
The Luzhniki follows two other stadiums, Spartak Stadium and Kazan Arena, which received a "good" and "silver" certification.
So there you have it: not only new, fancy stadiums in Russia but also environmental ones.
