This paper aims to investigate the energy consumption in a sport facilities and elaborate a set of novel energy indicators to support decision making process. Sports facilities are complex systems having higher significant energy demand than other facilities for service and recreation. These facilities require massive demand of various energy (e.g. heat, cooling, electricity) to meet the requirement of different types of sports facilities leading to a high complexity to understand and describe such facility accurately. To tackle this problem, an energy flow mapping of different energy demand is developed to have more insights on the energy flow in both time and space domain within one of the biggest sports facilities in Sweden, Rocklunda arena. All the energy meters are virtually connected to design a comprehensive mapping of the energy streams. Then the data is processed and analyzed to elaborate a set of novel key performance indicators KPIs allowing a simplistic description of the different aspects of the system consumption profile and the related energy performance.
