London 2012 Velodrome – integrating advanced simulation into the design process
The highly acclaimed London 2012 Velodrome indoor cycling arena, which has achieved BREEAM ‘excellent’, has been designed using a process which integrates considerable levels of complex building simulation across all design stages. This includes a wide range of airflow, thermal, daylight and energy models used to simultaneously support and drive the design as well as quantify the overall performance. Three building simulation competences associated with the integration of advanced simulation into the architectural design process have been identified: simulation competence, integration competence and holistic design competence. The Velodrome has been an exemplar in terms of the use of simulation to positively influence building orientation, form, detailing and performance.
