The risk of climate change has increased, and sports facilities, due to their high energy consumption, contribute significantly to this issue. Effective utilization of renewable energy can reduce costs and enhance sustainable energy management. Therefore, the present study aims to identify and prioritize methods for the utilization of renewable energy sources in sports facilities in Khuzestan Province. This study employed a mixed exploratory (qualitative–quantitative) design. The statistical population consisted of experts in sports facilities, renewable energy, environmental management, and sustainable development. Participants were selected using purposive and snowball sampling. In the qualitative phase, theoretical saturation was achieved after 12 semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Content analysis identified and categorized renewable energy utilization methods in four areas: electricity management, gas management, water management, and air quality improvement. In the quantitative phase, these identified methods were assessed using a pairwise comparison questionnaire completed by 18 experts. Data were analyzed through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) using Expert Choice software to determine and prioritize the most effective utilization strategies. The findings of the quantitative phase indicated that the light well system in the electricity sector, solar cooling systems in the gas sector, rainwater harvesting systems in the water sector, and the development of green spaces in the air quality sector were identified as the most important and effective methods of renewable energy utilization. The findings of the present study can serve as a foundational framework for the sustainable management of sports facilities, facilitating the utilization of renewable energy resources in sports venues across Khuzestan Province and Iran. Moreover, it provides a practical roadmap for facility managers and policymakers.
