Stadium ROOf PDF

The document discusses designing an inter-convertible roof for an outdoor stadium to allow events to continue even in inclement weather. This would solve the problem of event delays or cancellations due to unpredictable weather. However, such a design presents challenges like high costs, HVAC requirements, and structural concerns that would need to be addressed. The proposed solution is to power the stadium's energy needs through renewable sources like solar panels and use new transparent and strong materials for the roof to reduce costs while achieving a zero-carbon stadium. Further study is still needed to analyze weather patterns, energy needs, material properties, and structural designs to fully develop this solution.

Zero carbon Stadium

Infrastructure
According to my study and observation I have noted that in a stadium especially that is outdoor,
on the days like rain and other unpredictable weather day there is a delay or even cancellation of
a certain organized events. So looking into this problem and after analyzing I thought of
designing an inter-convertible roof.

MY ANALYSIS

Problems which I researched were the weather condition; the weather condition is very
unpredictable natural phenomenon which occurs. Thus, any sporting event which was organized
has often been disrupted due to these harsh weather conditions. Just because of this any Agency
and Event managers and the Investors have to go through a lot of loss directly or indirectly. And
it results into the wastage of the human efforts also.

SOLUTION

The solution to this could be only if we have a roof of the stadium which is inter-convertible.
That is the outdoor stadium can be converted into the indoor stadium whenever facing the harsh
conditions. The most important focus is to have a zero carbon stadium design. Whenever any
solution is provided it does has many obstacles to face so the known problems which I would be
facing will be
COST
DESIGN
HVAC
FAILURE

Known
problems

1) HVAC (heat ventilation and air conditioning)

As the stadium always consist of thousands of audience. thus, due to them there
would be a lot of heat generated in the stadium so it would create a lot of chaos due to
improper ventilation as stadium would be closed. at the same time it would even effect
the players efficiency as they would be facing the same unease situation.

2) COST

The cost of creating a such a roof will definetly lead to a heavy cost involved. As if we
are reducing the loss inocurred due to event cancellation but increasing the cost due to
such design as when a closed stadium will be there so to overcome the proble of HVAC
we would have install a lot of air conditioning to have a proper ventilation through out.
and this installation will cost a lot. The lightening which will be hindered will have to
overcome by installing a good lightening system.

3) DESIGN FAILURE
The design of the roof will be such that it will be obstructing the light also. and as it is
accomodating a heavy number of population so the designing will have to taken a speacial care of
DELIVERIES
After going through the known problem I have analysed that to have Zero Carbon Stadium and
also to meet the reducton of the cost at the same time I will bring into design a renewable energy
source that would be generating the power by utilizing the renewable sources and thus will be
use in the cooling and ventilation purpose. Thus a indoor Stadium will be the outcome having a
zero Carbon and having minimum.

The photovoltic array which we would be using, always exports the electricity generally so in
our design also it shuld be implemented int the grid system such that it exceeds the amount of
electricity which will be required for the event.

The roof will also be the light as well as high stength that is the material we could use t make this
particular can be graphene or carbon fibers . High reflectors which wuld be reflecting the amount
of radiations which will be comimg to the roof during summer can absorbed.

The light availability due to this roofing will be overcomed by using a new technology of
tarnsparent sheets which has been discovered recently which will also ensure high strength. As
we will be using the renewable energy so a proper device whch which will be controlling the
amount to be used will also be implemented in the final design. the ETFE pillows help control
the solar gain.
UNKNOWN PROBLEMS

the unwanted peaks on


electricity grid can be
encountered

the variation and the availability


of the renewable sources like
wind will be highly
unpredictable

PLANS
1) Study work - First I plan to study about the particular place weather conditions and also
other things like availability of the renewable sources where the design of the roofing is
to be designed
2) Calculation- The calculations of the energy required will totally depend on:
• the number of occupants who will be in the stadium.
• the energy consumed by the electrical appliances.
• the heat gained from the solar
so keeping these conditions in mind the energy consumption wil be calculated.

3) The material study will also add to plan before actually starting with the design that is the
material to be used in the roofing to ensure design safety as well as the strength of the roof.
4) The design selection finally on the basis of the ansys result that which structo use so that a
high security can be provide the required structures are as we known.

5) The strength of material as well as the thermodyanamics will be studied.
