The Nou Mestalla project, with plans for the ball to roll in the summer of 2027, is being built with environmental sustainability principles. Key aspects include water and energy savings. Regarding water resources, the stadium will not use potable water for pitch irrigation, leading to a significant reduction in its carbon footprint, lower energy consumption, and consequently, savings in maintenance products.
To achieve this, the Nou Mestalla will feature a storm tank connected to the drainage system of the pitch and the roof, enabling the treatment and reuse of rainwater. This tank, constructed with concrete walls, will be divided into four sections: central chamber, retention chamber, overflow chamber, and dry chamber. Furthermore, a network of low-consumption systems will be implemented, allowing for the saving of thousands of cubic meters of water annually.
In terms of energy saving, the project incorporates both active and passive measures. Widespread use of high-efficiency lighting systems with the latest generation LED luminaires is planned throughout the building, particularly for the pitch's sports lighting. Domestic hot water production systems using aerothermal energy will contribute to improving building efficiency by reducing fossil fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Additionally, photovoltaic panels installed on the roof will generate a clean, ecological, and unlimited source of electricity for the building's daily use, requiring little maintenance, causing no pollution, and operating silently.
