Abstract
Urban planning and design, with the objectives of energy efficiency and climate adaptation, is receiving more and more attention as urban energy consumption keeps rising. As technical representatives with large spans and high difficulties, sports stadia have a broad range of energy conservation and emission reduction compared with traditional buildings and have an extremely close relationship with the energy consumption of the building environment and urban microclimate, so it is necessary to study the climate adaptation design strategy of sports stadia. However, climate adaptive design has not given much thought to sports stadia nowadays. And the energy-saving strategies of sports stadia rely mostly on engineering expertise without taking into account the effect of sports stadia layout, shape, and structure on the urban microclimate. This paper investigates the energy-saving and climate-adaptive design techniques of sports stadia in the hot summer and cold winter zone of China using the layout of sports stadia as the research object. Firstly, we construct a climate adaptive design framework of sports stadia of “layout-shape-structure” based on the characteristics of sports stadia. Secondly, combined with typical examples of large-scale sports stadia in hot summers and cold winters, we establish an abstract model of architectural layout, shape, and structure based on climatic environment. In order to provide climate-adaptive design methods for sports stadia in hot summer and cold winter zones, the ventilation of the external and internal spaces of sports stadia is simulated, quantified, and compared using CFD software. The study’s findings suggest that the layout of sports stadia should take into account the direction of the local wind, that the goal of low energy consumption should guide the choice of building form, and that the internal wind and temperature environment should be stabilized during construction. The study’s findings can serve as a guide for comparable designs that aim to construct sports stadia with reduced carbon footprints.
