Taiwan’s Eco-friendly Stadium Ready for 2009 World Games
The World Games are two months away and just in case you didn’t know, they will be held in Taiwan. In preparation for the world event, Taiwan has build a new stadium that is oozing with eco-friendly considerations starting from the power source which is generated by the 8,844 solar panels installed. These panels are expected to generate 1.14 kWh which should be more than enough for the games.
So what happens to the excess power? The surplus energy will be sold during the non-game period. Thus, it won’t really be going to waste. As far as materials used in the construction of the breathtaking structure, the National Stadium in Kaohsiung City materials were all sourced locally.
“Not only does the solar panel system provide electricity during the games, but the surplus energy can also be sold during the non-game period. This is an unprecedented case of solar energy exploit on our island. Besides the fact, that the stadium conforms to the trend of “Energy Saving & Carbon Reduction”, it is also a new representative of sport stadiums.”
