WINTER OLYMPICS VENUES
ADLER ARENA SKATING CENTRE
Capacity: 8,000 Contractor/architect/engineer: JSC Omega BREEAM assessor: Aecom Russia
Energy efficiency measures To keep cool in summer and save heat in winter, the air conditioning systems use partial recirculation of exhaust air. Air exchange in the spectator area promotes assimilation of ventilation air heat and moisture to visitors and employees, without affecting the ice cover surface
The supply circuit and removal of air from the hall separates the ice track and stands zones. Temperature in the stands is 3-4o higher than in the ice track zone. The
C
result is a significantly reduced intake of unwanted excess heat and moisture in the area towards the stands
Sun visors and slats shield the arena from direct sunlight, and windowpanes have a specially tinted sunscreen
Remote monitoring for the control and building management systems
Natural lighting via transparent roof elements
Highly insulated structure (59% above Russian building regulations)
Rainwater harvesting for watering grounds and flushing toilets
Water treatment by reverse osmosis for ice surfaces
mountain areas, and provides a connection to the new terminal at Sochi International Airport, enabling quality public transport access straight off an intercity train or plane. The Olympics were responsible for a
variety of new technologies being developed in the Russian construction industry, including energy modelling and the use of integrated renewable technologies, rainwater harvesting and glass roofs. Eames said the change of attitude was refreshing. ‘The idea of trying to make innovative buildings, which were assessed, was a real breakthrough in a country that had no history of assessing buildings to green building standards.’ He believes the Games will leave a legacy of greener construction, in part due to the Russians realising that if they can be more energy-
efficient, Russia can sell more energy at higher prices to fuel export markets in the West. The Olympic projects on the following
pages represent the vanguard of this new Russian building revolution. CJ

Bolshoi Ice Palace
Seating capacity: 12,000 Contractor/architect/engineer: SC Olympstroy
BREEAM Assessor: Buro Happold
Energy efficiency measures Energy-saving, dome-shaped stained-glass windows made of multi-functional glass with glare shielding and heat insulation
Heat recovery in HVAC systems Photovoltaic power supplies and converters with automatic mode switching to ensure outdoor lighting energy savings
Recovered heat from the refrigeration condenser for ice production is used for the additional heating of external intake air
Heat from refrigerating compressor stations used for heating hot water
To provide a heat supply for snow-melting technology, ventilation systems, heated floors, and the hot water supply, 50 per cent of the thermal load is covered by reused heat from cooling machines
The heat in the hot water supply system is produced entirely by reusing heat at the venue
