    • Description

    Thermodynamic and day-lighting simulation of the Turó de la Peira Indoor Swimming Pool and Sports Centre in Barcelona city. The 3,900 m2 building includes a heated pool and multi-sports hall, built with a cross-laminated timber structure. The project won the WAF (World Architecture Festival) 2019 category for Sports, and was High Commended in the Category “Use of Certified Timber”. The thermo-dynamic simulations focused on reducing the heating and cooling demands of the building, optimising daylighting and thermal comfort and reducing the environmental impact of the building. The optimization of the thermal envelope created savings of 182,011 kWh/a, approximately € 27,302/a. A 100 % passive heating, cooling and ventilation solution was developed for the multi-sports hall.

    Passivhaus consultancy included PHPP energy simulation and performance optimisation, thermal envelope design, strategies to combat summer overheating and thermal bridge calculations.

    HVAC design included an air-source heat pump for heating, cooling and DHW production, ducted mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and a dehumidifier/cooling and heating cool with radiant ceiling panels. All services were integrated and controlled with the Loxone home automation system, providing extensive monitoring and preventative maintenance capability. An on-site solar photovoltaic installation and battery system means the home is entirely energy self-sufficient, with no grid connection. The home also has a rainwater collection and grey water treatment system, with no mains water connection.
