Sports and leisure
Textile-based ventilation meets the high requirements for indoor climate in buildings in sports and leisure. The solution ensures a smooth and draft-free air distribution, which creates comfort for both athletes and spectators - even in halls with high ceilings and varying levels of activity.
When ventilation makes a noticeable difference
Textile ducts are the ideal solution for heating and ventilation in sports halls. With KE Fibertec's many years of experience, you get an energy-efficient system that ensures optimal air distribution - both during daily training and in crowded stands. The entire hall, including the spectator areas, is heated and ventilated efficiently, without drafts and without compromising comfort.
Special requirements for the indoor climate in ice hockey halls
The large temperature difference between the ice surface and the surrounding air creates a risk of condensation and high moisture load on structures. Ventilation must effectively control humidity to protect the building and ensure clear views.
There is a marked difference in temperature at the ice, in the stands and under the ceiling. Without proper air distribution, ice level drafts and heat accumulation under the roof can occur. With the KE-Direjet, the air can be controlled 100% with nozzles and differential air volumes.
Ice hockey halls have high energy consumption for both cooling systems and ventilation. The system must therefore be carefully dimensioned so that air volumes and air distribution support the quality of the ice without unnecessary energy loss.
Athletes need stable and cool air at the performance level, while spectators expect comfortable temperatures without drafts.
The load varies from training to matches with full stands. The management strategy must be able to adapt ventilation and air volumes according to activity and number of people in the hall.
Comfort, health and energy-efficient operation are the focus
s/b The HVAC system must insure adequate air exchange so that CO₂, moisture and odors are effectively removed - both during daily training and at events with many spectators.
A modern indoor sports facility requires flexible control so that ventilation can be automatically adapted to changing applications - from regular training to rallies and matches with full stands, where the system is adapted according to several operating strategies.
Air must not blow directly into the playing area or create a nuisance to performers and the audience. At the same time, the temperature must be kept stable so that cold zones do not rise from the floor and heat pockets do not accumulate under the ceiling structure.
Too high humidity can affect both comfort and building construction, while too dry air can cause inconvenience to users. The ventilation must therefore be able to be precisely regulated according to activity and load.

By adding the air directly in the occupied zone, efficient heating and cooling is achieved without supply air volumes. It can reduce the energy consumption of the cooling and heating system by up to 30% and at the same time minimize the need for expensive steel ductwork.
A textile-based ventilation system is lighter both in the weight of the material and when assembled. This means significantly shorter assembly time - up to 9 times faster. It also requires less energy to achieve the same design criteria. With the savings in material , labor, not having to insulate or paint, it provides significantly lower operating and construction costs over traditional steel solutions.
The nozzles limit the induction of room air, so the air loses speed slower. The result is greater throw length and deeper thermal penetration, securing that both hot and cold air are accurately distributed throughout the space.
The hybrid solution combines air-permeable fabrics with KE-Direjet nozzles. It prevents condensation and dust on the ducts and ensures that both hot and cold air can be distributed efficiently and comfortably in the room.
