Condensation risk assessment for an indoor ice skating rink.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The risk can be minimised by using low emissivity finishes on surfaces that have large shape factors with the ice rink. In the study, methods have been developed for determining the threshold emissivity for individual surfaces for avoiding condensation. The study produced the necessary data to facilitate the architect and the engineer to choose finishing materials and to design and operate the air-conditioning and lighting systems for the indoor ice skating rink. The glass ceiling above the ice rink represents a unique design feature and a specifically devised method was used to assess condensation risk at the glass ceiling surfaces.
