Optimization of microclimate parameters in sports frame and tent facilities

Abstract

The paper considers measures to optimize energy costs in the heating of frame and tent facilities designed for sports events. Data on the available heating systems of temporarily used tent facilities are presented. It is shown that climatic conditions for athletes and the audience in these facilities do not meet the existing standards in the vast majority of cases. The combination of two factors affecting the microclimate parameters, i.e., the usage frequency and the low thermal resistance coefficient of the enclosing structures, requires the application of new practices not only in the form of climate control equipment operation mode, but also in the form of new monitoring techniques. The paper presents the results of a study of microclimate parameters in a frame and tent facility when using new techniques and approaches to climate control systems and to the process of forming climatic conditions depending on the clothing and the type of work performed. The results show that the introduction of new control algorithms and the implementation of new ways of monitoring microclimate parameters can save up to 30% of thermal energy while providing favorable microclimate parameters throughout the entire room, with the room reaching steady-state heating mode more than twice as fast. For the development of physical education and sports, it is necessary to use structures that can be quickly assembled and put into operation. For these purposes, frame and tent facilities are the best option.
