COMFORT IN SUMMER
Textile membranes do not store heat nor transfer it to the interiors of our halls; our facilities remain temperate. Being white, our membrane roofs reflect 90% of solar radiation.
Ample natural ventilation ensures optimal comfort for players even during hot conditions.
In the fight against global warming, we advise against the use of air-conditioning in our sports hall facilities.
Comfort during the summer is passively provided by the specialized architecture.
- Wood: never gets too hot and doesn’t accumulate heat
- White textile membranes: never too hot, prevents overheating
- Open facades: effective natural ventilation
- Louvred sun screens: prevents direct sunlight
- Summer dress code
COMFORT IN WINTER
Our facilities for dynamic sport incorporate hygrothermal controls (control of humidity and temperature) to keep humidity low and limit heat loss experienced by the players.
In the combat against global warming, we advise against heating our facilities used for dynamic sport, or limiting heating to no more than 54°F.
Supplementary heating can be supplied by a system of energy-efficient radiant heaters fitted at ceiling level. The radiant panels emit heat similar to that of the sun by warming the surfaces and the users without heating the entire air volume within the hall. The system is furthermore only set to operate when the hall is in use.
- Wood: never gets too cold, never accumulates cold
- White textile membranes: low coefficient of transmittance; never too cold
- Open façades: effective natural ventilation
- Louvred sun screens prevent blinding
- Appropriate clothing for winter
- Hygrothermal controls
- Optional heating
PLAY COMFORT
 |
Naturally luminous Textile membranes are translucent. The degree of translucency can be selected to match the needs of each individual project. Our facilities use natural daylight to provide homogenous and harmonious environments free from glare and uneven shading. |
 |
Controlled acoustics Tensile envelopes are supple and do not reverberate. |
 |
Tempered environment Player comfort is ensured by controlling the temperature and relative humidity. |
