Temperature Control
Effective Air Conditioning within a gym or sporting venue provides complete temperature control for the environment, all year round. It is important to be able to maintain a range of temperatures, allowing athletes to train harder, whilst limiting the risk of dehydration and heat exhaustion.
With larger gyms and sporting venues, there will also be a requirement for the Air Conditioning system to provide heating throughout the winter, when indoor temperatures can drop lower in the large high-roofed spaces often a feature of these buildings. Heating during the cooler months will provide a more comfortable and stable environment for athletes and spectators.
Ventilation
Effective ventilation is essential for all sporting facilities. Within the gym, proper ventilation delivers the continuous circulation of fresh clean air with correct Oxygen levels. This also helps to remove odours and reduce the buildup of sweat and moisture within the air, which can lead to an unpleasant and unhygienic atmosphere.
In addition, effective ventilation will improve the overall quality of air within a gym or sports hall, helping to regulate humidity. Too much moisture in the air can lead to mould growth and damage to equipment. However, a dry atmosphere can lead to skin and respiratory issues. Therefore, it is important to have a temperature control and ventilation system that can maintain a humidity level between 40-60%, delivering comfort for clients and increased longevity for the space and equipment.
In recent years, improving air quality has been an even more important requirement for Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning within public spaces. Poor air quality can impact on allergies, cause respiratory problems and spread infections. An effective modern HVAC system can remove contaminants and pollutants, whilst delivering a constant supply of fresh air. Many of the latest HVAC systems also include advanced features like HEPA filters and UV-C light that can remove harmful organisms and pollutants, further improving the air quality.
Refrigeration
In addition, with many sports venues providing hospitality, Pitkin & Ruddock can work with you to design and install refrigeration solutions for in-house kitchen, beverage cooling, café and restaurant facilities.
