Efficiency of Solar Shading Devices to Improve Thermal Comfort in a Sports Hall

Thermal environment in sports facilities is probably one of the most important parameters, determining safety and performance athletes. Such facilities, due to required operating temperature physical activity users, are a serious challenge for both investors administrators, especially summer. The additional criterion low energy consumption extremely airtight well-insulated passive buildings often results overheating interior, creating considerable economic operational problems. significant need reduce solar gain during periods high outdoor temperatures low-energy prompts variety design solutions. Sun shading systems, as an indispensable element glazed surfaces, designed control amount radiation reaching building at same time favorable microclimate inside. This article analyzes effects sun shading, which have actually been applied modified on southern façade hall S?omniki. Measurements thermal conditions were starting point, basis model object was created DesignBuilder program. Using simulation analyses, arising with use different variants internal external devices studied presented show that large volume, appropriately selected only able access sunlight rooms. External brise-soleils limit rooms by up 30%, but this not enough guarantee comfort. Internal blinds do affect interior significantly protect protection from overheating. Momentary differences PMV values patterns closing exceed 0.2.
