77. 1. GENERAL GUIDELINES FROM CLIMATE DATA

78. GENERAL GUIDELINES FROM CLIMATE DATA
Prevailing winds on the south-southwest:
Wind frequency Wind temperature
• Insulate well for cold air during winter, provide a transition zone between
main spaces and the exterior as a thermal buffer. Especially make sure the
ice rinks are isolated (due to high energy costs for conditioning properly).
• Allow for passive gains during winter for in between zones.

79. GENERAL GUIDELINES FROM CLIMATE DATA
High solar radiation on south - southwest façade:
• Take into account solar position to orient the second rink (in relation
to access points) – decide the rotation angle according to PV
maximization.

80. High solar radiation on south - southwest façade:
• Provide high solar protection on south-southwest façade to overcome
overheating problems in summer.
• For the new block, either make a subspace between the ice rink and
south façade or insulate it well to cut the contact with exterior with
temperature fluctuations.
• Allow for summer breeze.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FROM CLIMATE DATA

81. Climatically critical spot: Main entrance needs special attention
• Conditioning might be needed from time to time at the junction point
of the two rinks.
• If it is not desirable due to costs, make sure there is a transition zone
which will block the draughts into the ice rink.
This has relation with the wind direction –
can be problematic if the doors are not controlled – wind from the
southwest would speed up towards north.
If there are ways that the wind can be drawn to the sides then ice rink
conditioning takes more loads.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FROM CLIMATE DATA

Shadow effect on the public outdoor spaces on north-northeast facade:
• Consider levelling on the site to maximize outdoor sun.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FROM CLIMATE DATA

83. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR OVERALL DESIGN

84. 2. DESIGNING A HIGH PERFORMANCE ICE RINK WITH
INTEGRATED CLIMATIC ASPECTS

85. • Due to the fact that audience causes pollution and additional heat and moisture loads on the ice,
separation for airflows of ice rink and public is proposed.
• To achieve this; design of the ceiling in relation to roof is used as a “thermal buffer”.
ROOF AS A SMART ELEMENT: an integrated roof-ceiling concept

86. Humidity control:
• To prevent condensation on the roof
• Frost on the ice surfaces
• Fogging in the arena
Diffuse daylight intake
Displacement

For audience
Reflective roof material (aluminum,
kalzip, rheinzink and light color) with PV
integration, water proofing,
insulation vapor barrier
Acoustic ceiling: perforated metal
plate with recycled cotton insulation with a
low-e coating inside
AN INTEGRATED ROOF-CEILING CONCEPT: Zoom in

87. Advantages:
Lowered ceiling height = reduced volume = lowered heating and cooling energy
demand = optimum indoor air temperature for skating and ice control.

105. 5. USE OF PV PANELS

106. SOLAR INSOLATION
TILT ANGLE
ORIENTATION
For the Netherlands, an average year has a 850
full-load hours of sunshine at the best
orientation and tilt.
The maximum irradiation is
achieved at an angle of 36◦ and
5◦ west of the south in the
Netherlands.
USE OF PV PANELS: Inputs

107. USE OF PV PANELS: How much panels we can place for max. efficiency, how much energy
yield can be achieved?
The annual energy yield of a PV system in the
Netherlands is approximately:
Yield (kWh) = 850 hours x peak power of panels
(kWp) x %annual insolation x yield reduction
caused by obstruction angle

108. USE OF PV PANELS: If we cluster the roof & envelope as sub-areas according to the radiation
intervals, we can better estimate where to place them.

109. USE OF PV PANELS: Sub-areas with the maximum available radiation
Orange parts are out of the range of this
radiation level group. It is due to free-form
of the roof. This is not the final image.

110. Reference: Rotterdam Central Station – largest solar panel roof for
railway stations in Europe
Power output: 490kWp = 0.5MW
Number of modules: 3041
Area covered: 9200m2
The expected energy yield will be 350MWh annually.
The green power that will be created with these solar panels is comparable with electricity use of more
than 100 households – average household electricity consumption in NL: 3340kWh/a = 3.3 MWh/a
USE OF PV PANELS: What would the output mean- make a comparison – can we double the
output?

111. Reference Grontmij:
Ambition for lowered electricity consumption in Thialf – 6000 MWh/a:
With a usage pattern of:
• competition : 6 months per year;
• basement ice track: 10 months per year;
• ice hockey / events hall: 12 months per year.

112. Reference Grontmij:
Ambition for lowered electricity consumption in Thialf – 6000 MWh/a:
With a usage pattern of:
• competition : 6 months per year;
• basement ice track: 10 months per year;
• ice hockey / events hall: 12 months per year.
If we double the output of Rotterdam CS! – 700MWh/a

113. Reference Grontmij:
Ambition for lowered electricity consumption in Thialf – 6000 MWh/a:
With a usage pattern of:
• competition : 6 months per year;
• basement ice track: 10 months per year;
• ice hockey / events hall: 12 months per year.
If we double the output of Rotterdam CS! – 700MWh/a

114. Reference Grontmij:
Ambition for lowered electricity consumption in Thialf – 6000 MWh/a:
With a usage pattern of:
• competition : 6 months per year;
• basement ice track: 10 months per year;
• ice hockey / events hall: 12 months per year.
Total: 6000 MWh/a
If 700MWh/a (~12% of
total target) can be
generated, how we can
supply 88% of electricity?
If we double the output of Rotterdam CS! – 700MWh/a

115. 6. ACOUSTICS

116. ACOUSTICS ANALYSIS: How many m2 for acoustic panels are needed?

117. ACOUSTICS ANALYSIS: Find the necessary m2 for acoustic panelling, it has relation to
overall ceiling concept especially if we allow daylight trough roof.

118. ACOUSTICS ANALYSIS: Approximately 8000-9000m2 of acoustic panels – means half of
the ceiling can be covered. If the seats are covered with sound absorption materials,
the ceiling can be even covered with less panels.

129. 8. UTILIZATION OF WASTE HEAT

130. UTILIZATION OF WASTE HEAT
“REAP METHOD”

131. UTILIZATION OF WASTE HEAT: Heat exchange from THIALF

132. In the example of Richmond Oval in Canada, it is estimated that the excess heat still could
potentially provide energy for approximately 700 homes.
Based on this reference, our facility could be expected to provide heat to be utilized by
approximately 2 times more (because of the new rink).
