Roof Shape Design for Ice Rinks in Cold Regions under Carbon Reduction Targets

In the midst of today’s energy crisis, carbon emissions from ice rinks in cold regions present a significant environmental challenge. The shape of an ice rink’s roof significantly influences these emissions. This study developed a methodology to quantify the carbon emissions of ice rinks and explained how their roof shapes impact emissions during the operational phase. Roof shapes were divided into the following three categories: flat, curved, and combined torsion shell. Carbon emission modeling was established and calibrated using the Ladybug + Honeybee platform, followed by regression analyses on the slope and curvature of each roof type. The findings indicate a robust correlation between the carbon emissions of an ice rink and the slope and curvature of its roof. Roof shape influences approximately 2% of carbon emissions during the operational phase of an ice rink. Among the various roof shapes, the curved dome roof demonstrates the most effective overall carbon savings, at a rate of 0.93% compared to the flat roof. Selecting an appropriate roof shape has significant carbon-saving potential for ice rinks. The findings of this study may serve as a valuable reference for the formulation of energy-saving design standards in cold regions.
