Overview
From innovative planning and design to conscious construction and operation, today’s sports venues are redefining what it really means to be sustainable.
Moore Expert, Dirk Kestner, talks sustainable stadium design in the recent issue of Stadia:
“When sustainability expert Dirk Kestner began work as an engineer nearly two decades ago, few people in the field of sports stadium projects spoke about ‘embodied carbon’ at the design phase. But attitudes have changed remarkably quickly. Kestner, the director of sustainable design at Walter P Moore engineers, says awareness of climate change has driven sustainability concepts such as embodied carbon — the calculated carbon footprint of building materials — right to the top of the agenda.”
