Al Shabab Training Fields Dubai, United Arab Emirates
For 2008 UAE League Champion Al Shabab Soccer Club, the color of success is all green. Not only are the players who wear the green uniforms dominating the pitch, but the club is committed to minimizing its environmental impact in the desert region. The club’s “Green Values,” which traditionally reflect traits such as respect, fair play, and culture, also include the environment. The top priorities in upgrading the two Al Shabab Training Fields in Dubai, UAE, were to improve light levels while consuming less energy using the existing electrical infrastructure, and the Musco Light-Structure Green™ system provided a comprehensive solution. Compared to typical floodlighting equipment, Musco’s Green Generation™ system generates a 29 percent reduction in energy consumption and a 233 percent increase in lumens. The club’s projected 10-year life-cycle cost savings exceeds 98,000 Dirhams through reduced energy consumption and Musco-provided maintenance, including group lamp replacements, components, and labor. The quality lighting and significant savings is scoring high with owners, athletes, and fans alike.
