Abstract

The differentiated physical environment requirements within the internal space of ice rinks in cold regions result in a complex heat exchange process, which becomes the primary cause of high energy consumption. Therefore, analyzing the impact mechanisms of spatial layout parameters on the energy consumption of ice rinks is crucial during the early design stages. This study employed the Delphi method to identify the key parameters affecting the total energy consumption of ice rinks. It conducted single-factor experiments using building performance simulations to quantify the relationship between each layout parameter and the energy consumption. Based on the single-factor experiment results, orthogonal experiments were conducted to develop an energy-efficient spatial layout combination. The study indicates that the height-to-width ratio and the mixed area width are the most significant parameters. By adjusting the values of these parameters, the total energy consumption can be reduced by approximately 18% to 31%. The spatial layout strategy for ice rinks in cold regions proposed in this study will help architects make more effective decisions during the early design stages.
