Why is difficult to apply solar energy facilities in the sport stadium?
October 28, 2010, the Orlando Magic (Orlando Magic) in the National Basketball Association’s new stadium Amway Center (Amway Center) began the season, this is the first of the Association of the U.S. Green Building Council (US Green Building Council) LEED certified venues. This year in September, the National Basketball Association other four major U.S. sports leagues Association jointly issued an initiative to encourage the participating teams in the game using solar energy. Amway Center has built a cost of USD 3.8 billion in a series of energy saving facilities, including more efficient temperature control facilities, water-saving toilets, rainwater recycling system and give priority to hybrid vehicles in the parking lot, but just not solar cells board. Orlando, Florida is located in the southernmost U.S. state. What are the reasons to make the advanced environmental design competition venues do not install solar panels? The answer is that solar energy equipment will not produce returns.
Amway Center stadium, Naples by the Pope Company (Populous) responsible for the management, Pope Orlando, Naples is a company engaged in business operations consulting. Maikewuli (Mike Wooley) is the company’s complex affairs director, said: “I think the return on investment for solar energy equipment, not enough to compensate for the additional capital investment. Stadium regarded money into other energy saving technology up, such as water-saving toilets and energy management technology, etc., these technologies can reduce costs. ”
Amway is the center of Turner Construction Company Supervision (Turner Construction), Robert Reb En (Robert Rayborn) is the construction company, a project manager. He said that even if the solar panels installed in the stadium could cover every inch of the surface where the peak periods in the complex role minimal. “You can not to the venue owners and city officials prove that there are economic advantages of such investment,” Scott Terry (Scott Terry) is an electrical engineer, employed by the stadium design Amway Center in Smith Sise Blackman German companies (Smith Seckman Reid). In his view, the return on investment of solar panels usually take at least 10 years. He said: “Many owners would rather spend money to decorate his luxurious office suites,” do not want to spend money to install solar power equipment. ”
In addition to slow returns, the solar panels can also take up the advertising revenue of the company logo space, these ads often hanging in the stadium identified the top, relatively more to reduce the weight on top of the stadium. Large-scale concert engineers on this wish for, because they should weigh thousands of pounds of sound and lighting installed in the rack position.
In the United States and solar power generation equipment installed in only some of the few sports museum, such as San Francisco’s AT & T Park Stadium (AT & T Park), Denver’s Coors Field (Coors Field) and the Pepsi Center (Pepsi Center) , and the progress of Cleveland Stadium (Progressive Field) and so on. In these venues, solar energy can meet electricity demand is very limited. (Boston Fenwei Park stadium have also installed solar panels to heat water and the provision of hospital 37% of the heat inside, but not electricity.) In 2007, progress in golf course to spend $ 180,000 on the court stands in the interior installation of a high-level 1,300 square feet of solar panels. Last 3 years, this facility provides a total of 2.9 course progress million kilowatt hours of electricity. Progressive course consumes annually about 17 million kwh of electricity, the amount of large, enough to meet the U.S. demand more than 1,500 families. Cleveland Indians (Cleveland Indians) press officer Brad Moore (Brad Mohr), said: “These solar panels really only played a role in a show.”
Only a sports arena to the United States use solar energy to meet electricity demand at least 2%, which is located in the Los Angeles Staples Centre Court (Staples Center). Here is the National Basketball Association Lakers belongs (Lakers) and the Los Angeles Clippers (Clippers) in the main stadium, but also the National Hockey League (National Hockey League) Team Competition Kings (Kings) base camp. Staples Center Stadium is a subsidiary of AEG, industry, AEG is a sports and entertainment specialist contractors to the company. October 2008, AEG Staples Centre Court in 1727 placed the solar panels, an area of 2.5 million square feet, the total cost of 230 million U.S. dollars. Staples Center Stadium for the annual electricity needs of 21 million kwh, solar panels on the stadium was only 456,000 kwh electricity. In accordance with the tariff of 12 cents per kilowatt-hour calculation, AEG can save annually about $ 55,000. Basis of this projection, it has to wait 40 years to recover the purchase and installation of solar panels into these. However, these solar panels are utilities, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant policies the United States, the federal government can enjoy tax breaks and tax rebates and other preferential policies. AEG said, taking into account these factors, is expected in 8 to 10 years to recover their investments.
Although the economics of solar energy equipment is controversial, but some never bored. American Airlines in Phoenix Corporate Center (US Airways Center), Pennsylvania Snow Stadium wave test (Pocono Raceway) and Seattle’s Qwest Stadium (Qwest Field), have been large-scale solar energy facilities. But for now, sports venues throughout the United States is still almost entirely dependent on the energy needs of the existing power grid.
艾伦赫什科 Horowitz (Allen Hershkowitz) is the National Resources Defense Council (National Resources Defense Council), a senior scientist, is also a popular American sports venues to promote the power of solar energy movement. He believes that in the short term there will be no major change the situation, but he believes, have started some small attempt to have a strong impact. Hersh Kewei Ci pointed out that the year after Ronald Reagan removed the White House Jimmy Carter installed solar panels. Kewei Ci Hersh said: “Reagan did it because he wanted to convey a cultural message. Now we see another situation, solar panels are installed in the Fenwei Park Stadium, Staples also Cleveland Stadium the game. we began to receive information about different cultures. “
