Air Conditioning of Large Sports Halls - Early Analysis & Design
KAE have undertaken designs for a number of school and leisure centre multi purpose halls.
We see continuously, a rush to a neat solution of high level ductwork, served by large AHU’s with high outside air capacities. With some early analysis and options discussion with client, Architect and Engineer, often better and more economical solitons are available.
The aim of this post is to indicate to designers that a simple high level air conditioning approach to large sports halls can miss many energy savings opportunities and provides for plant capacity overkill.
