To realise this 5-storey multi-function indoor sport facility, WSP adopted tailored engineering design solution with fulfilment of functionality, safety, and buildability.
Performance-based sun-path analysis was applied to predict the intensity and direction of sunlight to determine the most suitable façade fins design. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling was used to analyse wind velocity and ventilation flow to facilitate the natural ventilation design for the indoor swimming pool.
Our project team implemented several energy efficiency measures and renewable energy features, including free air cooling, occupancy-based demand control for air-condition system, photo sensors at perimeter zones to regular the operation of interior lightings, and a grid-connected photovoltaic and solar water heating system to provide primary heating for potable water for energy reduction.
