\nThe FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa is all set to be a green affair. Green concepts and technology are being put to use this football world cup. The stadiums get a dash of green too. We came across the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, having its finishing touches being brushed on currently. This massive stadium is as eco-friendly as a stadium can get. The stadium\u2019s sculptured roof gives a harp-like impression, with a 150m high arch. The roof membrane is made of PTFE, which is 50% transparent. This exposes crowd below to natural daylight, though protecting them from any solar harm. The stadium seats 56,000-85,000 people and a 6 storey VIP facility. It\u2019s equipped with water conservation technologies, natural ventilation and is energy efficient. Its energy efficient heating and cooling systems keep the temperatures in the stadium pleasant.<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s not all. The stadium is also capable of rainwater collection. 30,000 cubic meters of concrete demolition material from the old stadium was used for construction, making this a recycled stadium! With all the efforts put into keeping the Moses Mabhida Stadium clean and green, this one sure is Durban\u2019s pride.
