Every space in FC Barcelona's new stadium will be fitted out with Panasonic solutions
Panasonic has signed a four-year sponsorship agreement to become FC Barcelona's official HVAC provider. The move sees the manufacturer become a strategic partner for the Espai Barça project to refurbish the iconic Spotify Camp Nou stadium.
Part of the sponsorship programme associated with the future Spotify Camp Nou, the agreement will see Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions provide more sustainable heating, ventilation and air conditioning solutions, with air purification and latest generation heat pump systems for each space in the refurbished stadium. High precision heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment will also be used in the technical areas, such as rooms containing the servers and for broadcasting games.
Espai Barça is said to be a ground-breaking project in the world of sport and entertainment, with the refurbished Spotify Camp Nou set to become the best sports complex located in the centre of a major city, providing comfort for every one of its almost 105,000 spectators. Every space in the new stadium will be fitted out with Panasonic solutions, providing the highest possible comfort, energy efficiency and highest quality interior air.
FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta said: “The alliance with Panasonic demonstrates the club’s willingness to equip the Spotify Camp Nou with the highest quality technology in the market, with the comfort of every member and fan visiting the stadium in mind so they can enjoy a match day in the refurbished installation. This agreement with Panasonic will mean every space is as comfortable as possible for the best possible enjoyment of the matchday experience.''
Panasonic Heating & Cooling Europe CEO Hiroshi Komatsubara added: “Panasonic is proud to be involved in this new FC Barcelona project, which will inevitably become a global benchmark in infrastructure. Moreover, in line with the club’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, Panasonic contributes to the new stadium’s design with its most innovative heating, ventilation, and air conditioning solutions. Using cutting-edge technology, these systems ensure comfort, high indoor air quality, and low CO2 emissions, marking a new era for major facilities in progressive cities worldwide.”
