Project of the Lighting System for Sports Field

Abstract

Lighting systems in multi-sport halls play a vital role in ensuring optimal functionality, directly influencing athlete performance, safety, and spectator experience. This thesis offers a comprehensive analysis of the design, implementation, and optimization of lighting systems in these facilities. Emphasizing compliance with international standards such as EN 12193, the study explores essential parameters, including illumination levels, uniformity, and glare control, which are critical for both professional and recreational activities. The research highlights modern lighting technologies, particularly LED floodlights, for their energy efficiency, longevity, and adaptability to diverse sports requirements. It delves into the technical aspects of lighting design, such as lux levels, colour rendering index (CRI), glare reduction (UGR), and uniformity ratios, with tailored solutions for sports* like basketball, volleyball, badminton, and futsal. The strategic placement of ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted fixtures, beam angle selection, and the creation of separate lighting zones for spectator areas are discussed to enhance visual clarity and comfort. Advancements in lighting control systems, including DALI technology, motion sensors, and automated scheduling, are explored for their ability to improve energy efficiency and provide customizable lighting configurations. The integration of emergency lighting systems, supported by backup power solutions, ensures safety and operational continuity during outages. The study also examines the transition from traditional lighting technologies, such as halogen and sodium-vapor lamps, to advanced LED systems, which offer superior illumination quality, environmental benefits, and reduced maintenance needs. By focusing on the interplay of functionality, efficiency, and sustainability, this thesis underscores the importance of smart and versatile lighting systems in creating adaptable environments for multi-sport halls. The findings offer valuable guidance to architects, engineers, and facility managers in designing world-class sports facilities that meet the dynamic needs of various activities while ensuring optimal performance and user satisfaction.
