This book is a comprehensive guide designed to provide architects, engineers, facility managers, and HVAC professionals with the knowledge and insights necessary to effectively design, install, operate, and maintain HVAC systems in sports arenas and stadiums. Sports arenas and stadiums are iconic structures that host a wide range of events, from thrilling athletic competitions to electrifying concerts and performances. However, behind the scenes, maintaining a comfortable and safe indoor environment for both athletes and spectators is paramount. HVAC systems play a critical role in achieving this goal, ensuring proper heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to meet the unique demands of these dynamic venues. In this book, we explore the fundamentals of HVAC systems, including the components involved and energy efficiency considerations. We delve into the design considerations specific to sports arenas, such as occupancy load, noise control, and sustainability practices. Moreover, we discuss the selection and sizing of HVAC equipment tailored to the needs of large-scale venues. Drawing from real-world examples, we present case studies of HVAC installations in various sports arenas, offering insights into best practices and lessons learned. We also provide guidance on maintenance and operation, emphasizing the importance of regular upkeep and compliance with regulations and standards. Looking towards the future, we explore emerging trends and innovations in HVAC technology for sports arenas, from smart systems to renewable energy integration. Additionally, we address economic considerations and the return on investment associated with HVAC system upgrades. Throughout this book, our aim is to equip readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to optimize climate control in sports arenas and stadiums, enhancing the overall experience for athletes, performers, and spectators alike. Whether you're involved in the design, construction, or management of these iconic venues, "Optimal Climate Control" serves as a valuable resource for navigating the complexities of HVAC systems in the world of sports. We hope you find this book informative, practical, and inspiring as you embark on your journey towards achieving optimal climate control in sports arenas and stadiums.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental function of buildings is to provide safe and healthy shelter. For the fortunate they also provide comfort and delight. In the twentieth century comfort became a 'product' produced by machines and run on cheap energy. In a world where fossil fuels are becoming ever scarcer and more expensive, and the climate more extreme, the challenge of designing comfortable buildings today requires a new approach. This timely book is the first in a trilogy from leaders in the field which will provide just that. It explains, in a clear and comprehensible manner, how we stay comfortable by using our bodies, minds, buildings and their systems to adapt to indoor and outdoor conditions which change with the weather and the climate. The book is in two sections. The first introduces the principles on which the theory of adaptive thermal comfort is based. The second explains how to use field studies to measure thermal comfort in practice and to analyze the data gathered. Architects have gradually passed responsibility for building performance to service engineers who are largely trained to see comfort as the ‘product’, designed using simplistic comfort models. The result has contributed to a shift to buildings that use ever more energy. A growing international consensus now calls for low-energy buildings. This means designers must first produce robust, passive structures that provide occupants with many opportunities to make changes to suit their environmental needs. Ventilation using free, natural energy should be preferred and mechanical conditioning only used when the climate demands it. This book outlines the theory of adaptive thermal comfort that is essential to understand and inform such building designs. This book should be required reading for all students, teachers and practitioners of architecture, building engineering and management – for all who have a role in producing, and occupying, twenty-first century adaptive, low-carbon, comfortable buildings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been widespread dissatisfaction with accepted models for predicting the conditions that people will find thermally comfortable in buildings. These models require knowledge about clothing and activity, but can give little guidance on how to quantify them in any future situation. This has forced designers to make assumptions about people’s future behaviour based on very little information and, as a result, encouraged static design indoor temperatures. This book is the second in a three volume set covering all aspects of Adaptive Thermal Comfort. The first part narrates the development of the adaptive approach to thermal comfort from its early beginnings in the 1960s. It discusses recent work in the field and suggests ways in which it can be developed and modelled. Such models can be used to set dynamic, interactive standards for thermal comfort which will help overcome the problems inherited from the past. The second part of the volume engages with the practical and theoretical problems encountered in field studies and in their statistical analysis, providing guidance towards their resolution, so that valid conclusions may be drawn from such studies.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Ecohouse, this fully revised edition of Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change provides unique insights into how we can protect our buildings, cities, infra-structures and lifestyles against risks associated with extreme weather and related social, economic and energy events. Three new chapters present evidence of escalating rates of environmental change. The authors explore the growing urgency for mitigation and adaptation responses that deal with the resulting challenges. Theoretical information sits alongside practical design guidelines, so architects, designers and planners can not only see clearly what problems they face, but also find the solutions they need, in order to respond to power and water supply needs. Considers use of materials, structures, site issues and planning in order to provide design solutions. Examines recent climate events in the US and UK and looks at how architecture was successful or not in preventing building damage. Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change is an essential source, not just for architects, engineers and planners facing the challenges of designing our building for a changing climate, but also for everyone involved in their production and use.

Controlling moisture is important to protect occupants from adverse health effects and to protect the building, its mechanical systems and its contents from physical or chemical damage. Yet, moisture problems are so common in buildings, many people consider them inevitable. Excessive moisture accumulation plagues buildings throughout the United States, from tropical Hawaii to arctic Alaska and from the hot, humid Gulf Coast to the hot, dry Sonoran Desert. Between 1994 and 1998, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE) study collected information about the indoor air quality of 100 randomly selected public and private office buildings in the 10 U.S. climatic regions.
