Green Asian Games powered by clean energy

The idea of building a park is based on the full consideration of protecting its surrounding rivers and trees to serve the Games as well as the public.

On July 8, 2020, the Park was awarded the three-star green building design label, becoming the first sports stadium building in Zhejiang to receive this honor.

Meanwhile, environmentally friendly technologies have been widely used in equipment, transportation and delivery services as Zhejiang endeavors to deliver a green Asian Games.

In Lin'an District, the Gymnasium of Lin'an Sports Culture Convention and Exhibition Center has been upgraded from holding the B-level competition to the A-level competition standard, which will host two events, taekwondo and wrestling during the Asian Games.

"The biggest feature of this venue is green energy saving. The top of the venue is not a light, but a natural light guide, which can collect the sunlight outside, satisfying the need of using light in the venue without a power supply," said Bao Chengcheng, deputy director of the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 Lin'an Preparatory Committee Office, local media reported.

Bao added that there are many lighting tubes in the main stadium. By setting lighting tubes and their accessories on the roof, natural light is introduced into the room and can be automatically adjusted according to the conditions to save energy and improve energy efficiency.
