Through energy audits, the development of energy performance indicators and knowledge dissemination, the project will provide sports clubs and decision-makers with better evidence to implement energy efficiency measures and reduce the climate impact of sports facilities.
The project will also contribute to increased knowledge about energy use and emissions within the sports sector, where reliable indicators and comprehensive statistics are currently lacking. Through collaboration with clubs, sports federations and other regional stakeholders, the project will strengthen the conditions for more energy-efficient, climate-smart and cost-effective sports facilities across the region.
Project objectives
- carry out at least 12 energy audits of sports facilities used for bandy, football and ice hockey
- organise learning networks and knowledge exchange between facilities and sports clubs
- develop energy performance indicators and an energy taxonomy for sports facilities
- identify at least 60 energy efficiency and emissions reduction measures
- contribute to a reduction in primary energy use of approximately 3,000 MWh per year
- reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 375 tonnes per year (based on the Nordic electricity mix)
- disseminate the project’s results to at least 150 people within the regional sports movement
