Abstract
- This paper provides comprehensive research on the environmental quality of a semi-enclosed large-scale stadium during eight football matches. The field measurements during eight matches in a semi-enclosed large-scale stadium were firstly conducted and the corresponding questionnaire surveys on the subjects' comfort were collected. Then the questionnaires for the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method were collected to obtain the weights of four comfort factors for large-scale stadiums. The measured environmental parameters were compared with limit values in different standards, including EN 16798–2, EN 12464–1, GB 3096 and WHO Air quality guidelines. The influence of environmental parameters on human perceptions was analyzed based on the data from field studies. Furthermore, the weighting scheme for semi-enclosed large-scale stadiums was discussed by comparing with other studies, which revealed that the users of the seme-enclosed large-scale stadiums had lower requirements for the acoustic environment than those of other types of buildings. The relationships between overall comfort votes and comfort votes for different factors were also explored, and the result showed that significant correlations existed between overall comfort and comfort factors, and the spectators were most sensitive to the thermal environment and least sensitive to the acoustic environment. The comprehensive research in this study can help designers and users to improve the building performance of semi-enclosed large-scale stadiums. • Thermal comfort and air quality are the two most important comfort factors during football matches. • TCV first increased with the increase in PET and then declined when PET was larger than 21.0 °C. • The preference vote of air velocity during matches was influenced by both air velocity and air temperature. • Spectators had higher light comfort votes for higher illumination levels than lower illumination levels. • The lively atmosphere during matches made spectators more tolerant of noise.
