Monterrey International Stadium will be a world example of sustainable development; defined by The World Committee for Environment and Development of the United Nations as "satisfy all the needs of present generations without compromising the possibilities of future generations to achieve their own".   The stadium is located in the crossroad of economic, social and ecologic development.

Energy Generation

To generate energy close to where it is needed or decentralize energy produces less carbon dioxide emissions; it is cleaner, more economical, and safer than energy generated in centralized electric plants, which are the ones we regularly use.

Monterrey International Stadium will generate and use energy from renewable sources:

Estadio de Berna, Suiza.
Solar Energy. Our country has one of the greatest solar ratios in the world, with a 5 KW per square meter daily. Monterrey International Stadium will emulate the actions of Stade de Suisse, in Berna, Switzerland and will have solar energy generation install on the roof.	Geothermic Energy. Rod Sheard, Monterrey International Stadium main architech, has proposed using geothermic energy, that is obtained from Earth's internal heat.	Wind Power. Another iniciative in discussion is conecting Monterrey International Stadium with the new plant of wind power at Santa Catarina, Nuevo León.

Energy Efficiency

Half of the carbon dioxide emissions are generated by buildings. Monterrey International Stadium is designed to reduce to the maximum the amount of energy used to build it and operate it. To achieve it the design is considering lights, natural ventilation, temperature and analysis of long term cost.

Water Conservation

The roof of Monterrey International Stadium will save the water rain, which will be used for toilets and watering the grass, just as it is done in The Manchester United Stadium and The Sidney Olympic Stadium (Telstra Stadium).

Residual waters will be treated and recycled.
