Stadia and Sport Facilities

Today successful stadia are destinations in their own right. Wind effects and excessive heat stress level can negatively impact user comfort. What can jeopardize the commercial success of external recreational spaces as well as internal seating areas.

Our mission is to help designers and architects create controlled external and internal environments for players, spectators and other visitors.

Thanks to CFD modelling, Novasim can quantify the wind speeds in terms of severity and spatial extent in key pedestrian areas. It allows to define wind comfort in terms of suitability for planned uses (outdoor siting, walking, recreational areas, standing, etc.)

In addition, we provide thermal comfort analysis that considers ambient temperature can be an important consideration in assessing the suitability of external microclimate.
