Planning phase 34 Advisability of the proje ct (Strategical EIA) • real need for a new facility • opportunity to us e or restore exis ting fac ilities • siz ing of t he f ac ility • future us e and needs after the event (in the cas e of a major sports competition) • us e of temporary installations w hen there is no future need (in the case of a major sports competition) • multiple- or single-use facility • financing plan inc luding construction, maintenance and operation costs Detailed planning (Detailed EIA) • avoid illegal building • include energy concerns in arc hitectural plans, and especially thermal cons iderations, in order to minimize the energy required to cool or/and heat the building • promote env ironmentally s ound technologies like s olar energy, heat pumps • foresee an environmentally sound operation phas e • foresee c ompensation and restoration measures if nec essary • select building material as follows: - select materials for thermal performance - seek maximum recyc led content and recyc lable materials - choose durable, easily reparable or interc hangeable items - selec t materials free of hazardous or toxic produc ts - choose products w hich w il not need to be dis pos ed of as haz ardous w aste - use materials that are available in the region • plan an architec tural integration into the landscape b) Construction phase During this phase, accidents and disturbanc es c an occ ur, like the accidental release of toxic substanc es, increas ed traffic, s oil pac king or noise. A s ound and rigorous planning of construction can protect not only the environment, but also the w orkers and the people liv ing nearby. Construction phase • build at a time of the year w hen animal life and humans w il be least disturbed • install ac oustic isolation if nec essary • plan soil management • us e appropriate engines • avoid where possible the use of toxic substances • plan the management of all s ubstanc es being us ed in the w ork place (storing, use, evacuation and treatment) • ens ure that the project is in conformity w ith building plans • us e environmentally sound construction techniques and materials c) Operational phase The operational phas e is almost alw ays the longest in a facility's life. The facility is
35 supplied w ith w ater, energy and other goods , the equipment is maintained and the waste removed. The facility hosts training and competition activities. It is possible to adopt a "green step" approach for all these ac tiv ities. Operational phase • Saving energy w ith: - heating, cooling and v entilating sys tems - lighting systems - hot w ater systems - equipment • Reduc ing ris ks caus ed by chemicals: - avoid or replac e dangerous c hemic als - store them carefully - follow instructions for us e and local health and s afety regulations - ens ure that they are disposed of and treated in an environmentally sound manner • Reduc e nois e and disturbanc e d) Special facilities Fac ilities are different and so are the impacts they produc e on the environment. This section offers some s uggestions for s pec ific s ports facilities. Outside playing fields (gr ass, artificial cover, tennis fields, etc.) • select local s pecies of grass requiring less w ater • reduc e w atering during the dry season, use w atering systems w hich limit evaporation (spray) and w ater during the coolest part of the day • suppress or at least limit the use of pesticides and chemic al fertilizers • tolerate a greater amount of w eeds • ensure ecological planning and management of adjacent surfaces (avoid pesticides and c hemical fertiliz ers, intr oduce sev eral plant species, etc.) Indoor sports halls (gymnasia, swimming pools, ice arenas, etc.) • passive us e of solar energy in the arc hitecture • check the energy balance of the building • introduce energy-saving equipment and appliances • us e alternativ e treatment to keep the w ater c lean (w ithout chlorine gas) • choose cooling c hemic als w ithout chloro-fluorocarbons (for ice arenas) Outside trails (for jogging, equestrian, mountain bike, etc.) • prevent eros ion by avoiding fragile areas and reinforc ing critic al passages • avoid wildlife habitat • build trails w ithout asphalt • promote ecological behav ior among athletes by informing them on iss ues such as waste collec tion and protection of fauna and flora
