Research & Sports Hall of Humboldt University
The Humboldt University (HU) Berlin and the Charité University Medical Faculty Berlin found the Center of Sports Science and Sports Medicine Berlin (CSSB). The CSSB is the only interdisciplinary establishment for sports science and sports medicine in germany.
The CSSB attends to fundamental research and development as well as appliance and teaching. While studying analysis, prevention and training or regeneration and rehabilitation the CSSB stands for interdisziplinary research in an excellent level. Humanities, natural sciences and medicine associate here in direct synergy.
The research sports hall of HU ist the new core of the applied sports research of the CSSB. The project financed only by an economic stimulus package was handed over to the operator, the Center of Sports Science and Sports Medicine Berlin (CSSB), in 2011. The faculty researches many facets of general and high-performance sports. Research objective is the improvement of traning procedures to an optimum. In addition to a triple- sized sports hall, the research facility also contains specifically equipped areas such as rooms for regeneration, rehabilitation, exercise, gymnastics and dance.
The highly sensitive measuring and camera technology in every section of the hall requires heavy demands on low-vibration construction, soundproofing, colouring and surface.
The horizontal arrangement of the solitary structure and the facade gives information on the interior spatial relation and structures the new building’s mass. An at-grade access, which leads straightfoward to the user area was the permise in the organisation. The transparent facade on the ground floor gives the visitors an insight into the internal procedure.
The locker rooms, the multi-media room and the area of research are reachable through the foyer. The sport area is located on the upper floor. The first floor receives a prefabricated concrete facade, that stands in contrast to the transparent ground floor. By applying high-efficient technology, triple glazing and highly insulated components, the energy demand is minimised to passive house standard.
Energy saving strategy
The energy strategy includes the local public requirements of ecological building, the supply situation at campus north and the demands in reference to sustainable building.
In particular it is realised by:
- no use of sanitary facilities below the tailback level (elimination of pumps), use of water saving fittings and flushing according to state-of- the-art technology, high standard of water hygiene by minimal amount of heat reservoir:

reduce of need for thermal heat by a compact thermal envelope according to passive house standard and porch, heat output saving in buffer storages (with regular use of the sports hall in summer months the involvement of solar heat is possible):

reduce of heat and ventilation output by use of high efficient CO2, temperature and moisture regulated ventilation system with series connection of air consumption for shower rooms and a heat recovery of 85 %
- © Rainer Gollmer
limitation of heat load in summer by efficient natural ventilation of the triple-sized sports hall, pre-cooling of external air of the ventilation regulated areas by geothermal collectors

efficient ventilation and glare-free lighting by energetic optimised arrangement of motor-driven window opening with external shading including light control elements:

daylight and presence-depending light regulation, control and alert in case of departure from normal demand of energy and water consumption with visualisation in foyer
In case of an interior finishing of the triple-sized sports hall with grandstands and with it ventilation and air conditioning a passive house standard can be achieved.
