Sports Facilities and Technologies
The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 covers different types
of sports facilities, sports provision within buildings, the significance
of sports facilities in urban developments and the exciting
possibilities of sports-led urban regeneration. Part 2 covers sports
facilities planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Part 3 is about the technologies that are making such
facilities increasingly desirable places to be. While Part 1 is
sports-specific, the content of Parts 2 and 3 is of wider application
and implication.
The book is written against a background of major and rapid
changes – in the UK alone during the period 2006–08 new building
regulations, wiring regulations and construction (design and
management) regulations were implemented. In addition to meeting
new requirements, sports facilities designers and managers
everywhere are taking advantage of emerging and developing
technologies to achieve comfort and delight for building users,
while at the same time working to achieve ever-more stringent
energy-efficiency targets.
This book is about sports facilities and their adaptation to the
needs and aspirations of modern societies. We have chosen to
use local examples from different parts of the world, to demonstrate
ways of addressing global issues, rather than incorporate
in our content sports facilities project case studies of a general
nature.
