Feature Fans are keen to see more technology within stadiums,
however, as sustainability tops the agenda for management organisations and sports clubs alike, solutions that reduce energy consumption within each stadium, whilst remaining cost efficient, are becoming increasingly desirable. And then there is the green agenda to consider; as we all join the race towards achieving net zero, creating a greener and cleaner environment for our future generations,
surely unnecessary energy
consumption is something that we collectively want to avoid. Given
their scale, stadiums are legally required to have
public address and voice alarm (PA/VA) systems operational at all times for health and safety purposes. This means that even when stadium stands sit empty of events and fans, the energy consumption clock is ticking and continuing to rack up significant pound signs on energy bills.
At North, we have been working to help our clients to introduce technology that will minimise running costs and reduce energy consumption across the UK. The state-of-the-art solutions designed and installed by us mean that when the PA/VA system is not required, the digital amplifiers automatically enter an intelligent sleep mode without creating a hazard or breaking any health and safety regulations.
Operated through the use of innovative smart sensors, North’s smart PA/VA solutions have the capacity to reserve a significant proportion of daily energy expenditure which translates into thousands of pounds of savings. Most recently, North is proud to have worked with Fulham FC to install this state-of-the-art technology in its flagship Riverside Development as it seeks to become a transformational hub for fans and the community for generations to come.
The want for a sustainable future coupled with the cost-of- living crisis has created the perfect storm for organisations to review systems that have been in place for decades and there is no time like the present to welcome better alternatives. As such, there will always be a requirement for PA/VA systems, so let’s do our best to provide the very best solution; both financially and environmentally.
Technology is already coming into play as it continues to enhance stadiums and provide an improved guest experience. However, we must ensure that advances don’t stop there. As the energy crisis and race to net zero fast approach, it is vital that stadiums embrace solutions that will create greener, cleaner and more efficient facilities. Those that don’t risk being left behind.
