This thesis addresses the issue of Indoor Environmental Quality and energy consumptions in sport facilities located in moderate environments.
In particular, general considerations regarding these topics and their application to the case study of the fencing hall “Club Scherma Pisa Antonio Di Ciolo” are presented.
The research has several aims, consisting in general intents, which can be applied to all sport facilities and in particular to the sport of fencing, and in specific objectives, applied to the case study.
All these aims have one main purpose: ensure the best environmental conditions in the building in which athletes are performing, in order to guarantee their best performance.
As a limited number of researches has been carried out on these topics, this study will be an important contribution. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first research regarding indoor environmental quality in fencing halls.
This means that the results provide information that can be applied not only to the case of study but also to all the facilities used to practice this sport.
Moreover, the results concerning thermal comfort provide a base for further research on climate in indoor spaces where physical activity is carried out, regardless the sport performed.
From these premises, it can be stated that this thesis lays the groundwork for future researches regarding the parameters ensuring comfort and high performance in sport facilities.
