Sports Arena Design
(OP)
I am starting the design of a sports arena and was wondering, first of all, if there are any general design issues to be aware of that are unique to this type of space (this is my first arena). I am particularly interested in the ventilation of the arena. It would seem with a densely occupated space such as this, the air handler(s) or rtu(s) serving this space could just about be 100% OA. My thought is to size coils for 100%OA, provide ahu/rtu with energy recovery wheel, 2-position oa damper with CO2 control - min setting is for "non-event" and in the event of high levels of CO2 (sporting event) the ahu/rtu will go into economizer mode until levels are brought back down and the oa damper will then go back to min (non-event) setting. Let me know your thoughts on this philosophy and any other suggestions you may have. Thanks so much.

Will they play hockey in there?
Will they ever shoot off fireworks inside?
Will they host the circus?
Rock concerts?
What will you do when the place is not in use?

Also you need to provide a smoke evacuation system.
Good luck.
