Engineering part 2

HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning)

In order to create an ideal eco-friendly and economic stadium, we are looking forward to utilize as much natural wind as possible for heating, ventilating or air conditioning. Ceiling fans and operable windows will be installed in most areas, such as the outermost passageways leading to the stadium seats. The purpose of the ceiling fans is to circulate air within a room to reduce the perceived temperature. Because hot air rises, the fans could be used to keep a room warmer in the winter as well, as it circulates the warm air from the ceiling to the floor. We are also aiming to have as much open spaces as possible for the natural flow of air. As the hot air rises, upper openings allow it to flow outside the structure and, thus, forcing cool air to be drawn into the structure through lower openings. Furthermore, central heating and air conditioning will be installed in other areas, such as offices, restaurants, and the clubhouse. Such a system will require space for a mechanical room that can hold the boiler, furnace, and heat pump.
