PARKEN Denmark’s national stadium
Special indoor environmental problems occur when the movable roof is pulled over PARKEN in
Copenhagen. If there are 40,000 spectators inside the closed stadium
they produce approx. four tons of water vapour per hour. If there is a
low temperature outside the stadium the textile roof may be so cold that
the water vapour is condensing and rain will fall on the spectators. This problem
is solved by designing a roof made of two layers of
textiles which are ventilated, and by using a powerful ventilation in
the spectators' area. The ventilation nozzles in this area can also be
used for heating of the whole concrete structure immediately after
PARKEN is covered by the movable roof. |
