As the Brazil World Cup draws to a close, attention is turning to the 2018 contest in Russia, which promises sustainable stadium designs.Six new stadiums being constructed for the tournament are being assessed under BREEAM and are set to raise awareness of green building generally in Russia.



Ksenia Agapova, associate director at Jones Lang Lasalle in Moscow, is acting as BREEAM advisor on three stadiums: at Samara, Volgograd and Nizhniy Novgorod. Agapova said:“Regulations in green building are not well developed here and few incentives exist for implementation of green technologies. It is a significant achievement for the design team to receive this international recognition and prove compliance with the highest international standards. We are looking forward to successful completion of these projects and expect increased public awareness of green building, as these venues attract a lot of attention”.
