The Green Sports Alliance (Alliance), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institute of Building Sciences (Institute) are working together to better understand the characteristics of stadiums and arenas and their energy and water impacts. As part of that effort, the Institute has prepared the following survey with extensive industry feedback and specific guidance from EPA's ENERGY STAR® Program. The findings from this survey will help identify opportunities to reduce energy and water use, save money, and potentially develop an ENERGY STAR® score and certification for stadiums and arenas.

Thank you in advance for completing this survey. If you own or operate multiple facilities, please complete a separate survey for each facility. The information you provide should reflect facility characteristics and use in calendar year 2015.

Results will be reported in the aggregate, so individual responses will be confidential. Respondents are asked to complete the survey by December 23, 2016. A summary of findings will be provided in late 2016 or early 2017. Potential ENERGY STAR® scores created by this survey would be available no earlier than 2018.

In order to answer this survey completely, you may need to have information that is not readily available. Please review the survey questions at http://www.nibs.org/resource/resmgr/projects/Energy_Water_Survey.pdf to assure you have the necessary information before beginning. Additionally, you will need to submit energy and water data, which will be necessary to help develop an ENERGY STAR® score for stadiums and arenas. Please click on the link (http://www.nibs.org/resource/resmgr/projects/Energy_Water_Report_Instruct.pdf) to review instructions and options for uploading your energy and water data. Upon submitting your responses, you will have the opportunity to return to the survey questions to update or clarify your answers by a link provided.

The first 25 valid submissions will be entered into a raffle for a 1-year complimentary Green Sports Alliance standard membership (valued at $500) or a discount of $500 if already a premier member.

If you have questions on the survey, please contact Ryan Colker at the National Institute of Building Sciences (rcolker@nibs.org, 202-289-7800x133).
