Abstract

Air-supported membrane gymnasiums are gaining popularity in cold regions due to their rapid construction, low energy consumption, and cost-effectiveness. However, their natural translucency leads to excessive indoor daylight and discomfort, posing challenges compared to traditional structures. This study investigates the indoor daylight performance of air-supported membrane gymnasiums in cold regions. Through computer simulation, key daylight indicators were identified, a typical model was developed, and its accuracy was verified through empirical measurements. Based on these findings, shape optimization suggestions are proposed to enhance indoor daylight quality, promoting a healthier sports environment. The insights from this study are expected to inform future design practices for similar facilities.
