Abstract
This research aims to prioritizing new usable technologies in sports facilities with an emphasis on reducing energy consumption. Mixed research method (qualitative and quantitative) has used in this study. The population of the study was 50 of experts that had studies in areas of sport facilities, energy engineering, Civil Engineering and the environment. Sample was equal with population. In the qualitative section, qualitative interviews have conducted with 11 experts. In quantitative section, AHP researcher-made questionnaire by Behingostar software have used to data collection. Findings of the qualitative analysis showed that the new usable technologies used in sports facilities with the emphasis of the reduction of energy consumption have divided into the three main indexes of the new technologies reducing water (6 item), power (9 item) and Gas (9 item) consumption. Building management system was the most important technology in reducing power and gas consumption (relative weight 0.30 and 0.29) in sport facilities. Future bath showers (relative weight 0.32) were most important technology in reducing water consumption. Therefore, due to the limited availability of energy resources in the country, managers of sports facilities have to step in order to benefit these technologies to develop sustainable sports facilities in the future.
