MICROCLIMATE COOLING SYSTEM FOR AN INDOOR/OUTDOOR STADIUM

摘要

A microclimate cooling system (400) for an indoor/outdoor stadium (102) includes a partially rotatable roof (114), the rotatable roof having a first position (176) environmentally sealing an interior (134) of the stadium and a second position (178) exposing a portion of the interior to the atmosphere, a field (118) surrounded by the stadium, and a tiered seating (128) positioned adjacent a first side of the field. The system further includes a raised concrete barrier (434) adjacent a second side (440) of the pitch opposing the first side of the field, a first wall (436) adjacent a third side of the field, and a second wall (438) adjacent a fourth side of the field, the first and second walls perpendicular to the tiered seating extending between at least a portion of the tiered seating and the raised concrete barrier. The system further includes a plurality of air handling units (406) for supplying cooling air to the tiered seating (128).
