Levi’s Stadium

Santa Clara, California

Home to the San Francisco 49ers and the world’s premier outdoor sports and entertainment events, the new airy Levi’s Stadium in the Silicon Valley opened its gates to lucky fans in 2014. Environmentally friendly, technologically equipped, and beautifully designed, this place sought to exceed all expectations for a sports facility.

Supporting the owner and design team’s sustainable building goals, Glumac’s commissioning agents conducted the LEED and Enhanced Commissioning for this 1.85 million square feet facility (seating capacity of 68,500, 165 luxury suites, and 8,500 club seats). Levi’s Stadium is currently the largest facility certified by the USGBC and the first NFL stadium certified LEED Gold for New Construction in the US.

To reach energy-efficiency goals, the Glumac building commissioning agents monitored energy use and continuously tuned the systems. We also developed a comprehensive measurement and verification plan to help building operators monitor the energy use and realize the continuous benefit of lower energy use for the lifetime of the facility.

Commissioning the First LEED Gold NFL Stadium

The decision to build the new 68,500-seat Levi’s ® Stadium, a venue owned by the Santa Clara Stadium Authority, was never about simply constructing a new home for its city’s beloved football team, the San Francisco 49ers. It was intended to be the first of its kind in sustainability: the first stadium in the United States to receive LEED Gold certification as new construction. | Read More
