How Analytics Tech Can Boost Stadiums’ Energy Efficiency
English soccer club Tottenham Hotspur is partnering with Schneider Electric to provide real-time energy maintenance and personalized experiences for fans.
When English soccer team Tottenham Hotspur opens its new state-of-the-art stadium later this year for the 2018-2019 Premier League season, it won’t just be a gleaming new multipurpose arena with a fully retractable grass pitch. It will be a very smart one, too.
In March, the club announced a partnership with energy management company Schneider Electric to be the official stadium management supplier for the North London arena. The centerpiece of the partnership is Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure platform, which will provide real-time energy monitoring and preventative maintenance, and potentially allow the club to providecustomized heating and lighting arrangements for fans.
The partnership is an indication that advances in technology, especially ones that connect IT and operational technology, can allow sports teams and stadium operators to boost energy efficiency, save money, aid the environment and deliver a better experience to fans all at the same time.
Tech Platform Gives Insights into Stadium Operations
As part of their agreement, Schneider Electric will distribute the power supply and integrate key systems at the stadium, which is part of the larger Northumberland Development Project. “The energy management and building management solutions provided by Schneider Electric will play a key role in delivering energy and operational efficiencies, supporting the Club’s vision of delivering the ultimate experience for every visitor to its new world-class stadium,” Tottenham and Schneider say in a statement.
“Schneider Electric is a leading provider of energy and building management systems and we are delighted to announce its role in the stadium project,” Matthew Collecott, director of operations for Tottenham Hotspur, says in a statement. “We have the upmost confidence in its ability to deliver a best-in-class energy management system, which will power one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the world.”
The EcoStruxure platform is the digital backbone that connects operational technology solutions with the latest in IT and will be embedded into the stadium’s architecture. Schneider says the platform “will provide real-time monitoring for preventative maintenance and personalize visitor experiences, including aspects such as temperature and lighting conditions.”
Further, the company says, the stadium’s electrical infrastructure will be monitored constantly from Schneider Electric’s remote field services bureau. Schneider’s web-based Building Analytics softwarewill perform checks on the stadium’s systems every five minutes, totaling 60,000 checks every hour onsite. And the company says its product experts will also be onsite “to personally monitor the stadium’s power infrastructure on match days and in the build-up to any special events.”
The stadium will accommodate 62,062 seats and will host not only Spurs games but other major events as well. Game days and days when events will take place often put stress on stadiums’ energy management systems, networks and IT infrastructure.
Mike Hughes, UK and Ireland zone president of Schneider Electric, says in a statement that by embracing digitization and automation “the stresses associated with hosting and attending live events can be alleviated. Together, we will develop a next-generation customer experience for sports fans; one that is only achievable with the latest technology.”

So all the glazing is going to be covered with cladding?Then he is talking out of his arse I reckon. If he actually looked at the renders he would notice that the mesh cladding goes across the front of the stadium. That structure is there to hold the cladding.
One question at the pearly gates "what's the meaning of life?", "how was the universe created?".....
No, none of those "You know at the new Spurs stadium.....How will they stop fans falling between the back of the terrace and the glass wall?"
A fair chunk of it yeah, as per the render.
I think once in the stadium the posh bits all the action/views are focused pitch side, then as you go up (Skylounge aside) the West Stand GA concourse is focused outwards, hence the glass that can be seen in the West Stand is at the top couple of levels. Levels below would include the main reception, which must take up the first 3 levels maybe 4. The entrance lobo which is an open atrium (with all the bars/lounges/posh bits not skirting the high road edge of the stadium). Speaking of the main entrance atrium that could be quite spectacular too:
Note the *trees (*insert whatever effect you want in that wall, could be a football match, or something for a specific sponsor).
I've been to the Salesforce offices and they have it:

no world class digital wrap though, is it?
:vertna:
Sorry if already said but when is the first test event?
The big green crane dismantler on the North-east corner too...Too much fucking red...anyway, might see the pitch rolled out at some stage...or even see a crane or two getting dismantled...
Edit: The SSC boys say that it's actually dismantling the Mace HQ.
