Resource consumption of existing sports halls by using the example of the city capital of Munich

One of the central resources of sports is the sports facility infrastructure. According to the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB), the operation of German sports facilities causes around 7.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually [1] and thus accounts for around 1% of greenhouse gas emissions in Germany. For years, sports associations have been pointing out the existing nationwide refurbishment and modernisation backlog, which in particular is due to the high level of expansion and extension of activities from the mid-1960s to the 1980s [2]. Sports halls are the most represented building type with a number of about 35,000 [3]. They are responsible for about one third of the emissions mentioned above [4]. To achieve the nationwide goal of a climate-neutral building stock, the existing sports halls must be renovated and modernised, taking into account a sustainable use of resources, which is underlined by this research work.

The study focuses on the building stock of sports halls in Germany on the example of the City of Munich (LHM). Clustered into different building age classes, typical sports halls are examined regarding the energy demand according to the Building Energy Act (GEG) based on DIN V 18599 and the grey energy by means of life cycle assessment. Case studies are conducted in relation to refurbishment models based on the current building standards of the LHM and compared to the resource requirements for comparable new buildings. One focus is on halls from the 1960s to 1980s, which have presently an urgent need for renovation, in consideration of a use phase of 50 years.
