Scope

Develop a carbon emissions calculator that enables participants to choose targeted initiatives for reducing the carbon footprint in arenas and other large public venues.4o

The quest for clean energy

The "Climate & Energy" project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across venue operations with a focus on transparency, efficiency, and innovation. Key actions include "Measuring & Reporting Carbon Emissions," "Increasing Energy Efficiency," and "Reducing Fossil Fuel-Powered Equipment."

The first step involves measuring and reporting emissions to identify major sources and create a strategic reduction plan. By sharing these findings, venues promote transparency and inspire others to pursue sustainability efforts.

An introductory dashboard shows status of footprint elements

The "Increase Energy Efficiency" objective uses data analysis tools to monitor energy consumption and encourages venues to adopt energy-efficient systems, reducing their carbon footprint. The "Reduce Fossil Fuel-Powered Equipment" objective promotes replacing outdated systems with greener alternatives, cutting emissions from building operations

.A tiered compliance system, from Bronze to Gold, ensures emission reductions. Bronze sets a baseline for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, Silver includes Scope 3, and Gold requires a comprehensive reduction plan to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2040

Allows the tier selection in each category

Each tier is meticulously designed to ensure venues are not just compliant but are leaders in sustainability, fostering an environment where operational efficiency, environmental responsibility, and community engagement converge to combat the pressing challenges posed by climate change. Through this structured approach, the project not only aims to mitigate the impact of climate change but also transforms venues into exemplars of sustainability and guardians of the planet.
