Project №02 · Sustainability in tennis infrastructure
GreenTennis
Green energy, circular materials, and water use in tennis clubs — the first full-scope climate programme for a Europe-wide racquet sport.
Editorial note
§ 1Tennis clubs are small energy systems that behave like large ones: floodlights, pumps, clubhouses, travel. The sport has taken climate seriously at the elite level but leaves its community clubs to improvise.
§ 2GreenTennis works with seven clubs across four countries to run a comparable energy audit, retrofit a set of shared interventions, and publish the results in a form that clubs elsewhere can adopt without needing a consortium of their own.
§ 3Our contribution, under Collective Innovation, is the data spine: a shared benchmarking framework and an open data release so the next cohort of clubs does not have to start from zero.
