Sport stadia are some of the most complex and intricate buildings constructed throughout the world. These buildings can be extremely high energy users and take up many acres of city or countryside space. This course examines a recent study published by Ileana Aquino and Nawari O. Nawari of the University of Florida that investigates a variety of techniques for sustainable stadium design, covering new construction and existing stadia.
