Strømsgodset Launch Sustainable Stadium Initiative
Strømsgodset’s vision of a sustainable future is taking centre stage as the Norwegian club look to restructure energy and electricity consumption at their home, Marienlyst Stadium.
The 2013 Eliteserien champions have initiated their project with the support of Glitre Energi, termed ‘Sustainable Stadium’, which will look to implement energy efficient solutions to save cost and increase overall sustainability measures adopted at the stadium.
Glitre Energy Solutions is an energy company based out of Drammen, the same city as the club. The company works with energy efficiency, power equalization, solar cells and the development of new energy solutions, among other things.
Most recently, representatives of the company inspected the Marienlyst stadium to get an understanding of its electrical system, in order to map where ‘smart meters’ for power consumption can be installed.
Bjørn Furuheim, event manager at the club, says the project is a win-win situation for all parties involved and the environment in particular.
With the help of SmartEO, Glitre Energy’s very own concept technology, the club is on the verge of streamlining the process of energy management within the stadium and facilities.
