| Abstract |
With the increasing energy consumption in buildings, the proportion of energy consumption in public buildings continues to grow. As an essential component of public buildings, sports buildings are receiving more attention regarding energy-saving technologies. This paper aims to study the passive energy-saving design methods of small-and medium-sized sports halls in hot summer and cold winter regions, exploring how to reduce building energy consumption by improving the spatial design and thermal performance of the enclosure structures of sports halls. Taking the Wuhu County Sports Center as an example, this study uses computer simulation software to analyze the building's wind environment and the thermal performance of its external walls and roof. The results show that the large volume of the sports hall significantly impacts the distribution of wind speed and pressure around it, and this impact decreases with height. The thermal simulation of the enclosure structures demonstrates that adding insulation layers to the interior and exterior of the walls and roof of the sports hall is an effective way to reduce energy consumption in both winter and summer. Additionally, wind environment simulations of different roof shapes reveal that flat roofs have the most significant blocking effect on wind and are prone to inducing strong vortices on the leeward side; concave arch roofs have the least blocking effect on airflow, and arch and wave-shaped roofs maintain lower vortex intensity on the leeward side. Hopefully, this study can provide significant references for the energy-saving design of future small- and medium-sized sports buildings. |
