Question

I have been looking into the TCC field and have found out they have some heating running under the field for the winter days. With my plans to put cooling under the field this may be useful as there is already something under the field. I have noticed that in the winter the field is never cleared of snow even tho they say it is heated. Do you think I should look into cooling the field for summer while heating it more during the winter so the field is cleared for people to play all year round? Just looking for suggestions.

Thanks

A little switcheroo

So I finally went and had a meeting with my mentor, Mindy, and have decided to change up my research topic. Instead of trying to find the best way to cool a soccer stadium in the middle east I have decided to keep my research local and look into cooling the turf at TCC stadium. During those summer days when temperatures reach up to 40 degrees +, the turf is a nightmare on your feet. Being a soccer player I have to deal with this every summer and don't enjoy it. Im going to look into different ways to cool the turf down and see how much I can cool it.

Just another day!!!

Hello classmates, with more research i have found out that in Qatar they are building a stadium with an in-stadium cooling system (Thank you Matt). Instead of just studying one way to make this happen I am now going to look at three different ways to see which would be more efficient. Between solar energy: using to solar farms which will transfer gather energy to a city grid where the water will be heated by sun collectors then stored in an on site storage tank, Deep lake cooling system: using the water from the ocean as a heat sink for climate control, and passively cooling using principles of biomimetic architecture. If anyone has any ideas on a thesis i am open for suggestion. Thanks
