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

Hi Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI am not unsure about how you are proposing to use solar to cool a building? You could generate electricity with photovoltaic panels and then use this to power air conditioners. I know of some existing systems that use ocean or lake water. If using passive ventilation for cooling then the building would have to be open to the exterior. Is this the intention?
Yes, exactly that was my plan for the PV panels. I read a little of the link from the Qatar site but having figured out the best way for it. The building will also be either a retractable roof or be an open stadium concept. Maybe half open half closed. I am meeting with Mindy tomorrow to go over some things with her.
ReplyDeleteHey Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI found a write up about an engineering company trying to develop more efficent HVAC systems in American Football stadiums. Thsi link has a bit of information on what they are doing, also there is an email contact. If it seems interesting then maybe you could flip the firm an email. Hope it helps!!
