Gooische HC
In the Netherlands, we are familiar with the challenge of unpredictable weather, but for sports lovers, this doesn’t have to be a barrier. Our air domes provide the opportunity to play sports throughout the year, no matter the weather. Additionally, our air domes are designed with a focus on energy efficiency.
Sustainable air domes: ansuring year-round sports in all weather.
Gooische HC needed a solution to address their shortage of sports space while also meeting the challenges of nitrogen emission and deposition regulations. The answer was found in Polyned’s sustainable air dome. This energy-efficient option contributes to a greener and more eco-friendly world while facilitating year-round sports activities.
In the Netherlands, the ever-changing weather can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to prevent sports enthusiasts from enjoying their activities. Our air domes make year-round sports possible, regardless of weather conditions, and are designed with energy efficiency as a priority. You might wonder, “How sustainable is an air dome?”
We’ve developed the most sustainable air dome available, featuring a translucent surface that minimizes the need for artificial lighting during the day, with the sun providing warmth. In the evening, it uses energy-efficient LED lighting and heating systems powered by natural gas, district heating, or hybrid solutions. The dome can also be heated during the day.
Gooische HC has embraced this hybrid solution: “Being in a Nature Monuments area with nitrogen emission regulations, we chose to electrically heat the air dome,” says Reyer van der Vught from the hockey club.
The advantages of an air dome extend beyond its environmental benefits. Its easily deployable structure can be placed on almost any surface, solving the issue of sports facility shortages. Reyer van der Vught expresses his satisfaction: “The hall’s limited capacity was a problem, but now it’s resolved, especially for sports requiring year-round access.”
Full in-house capabilities from start to finish
Our designer creates an initial sketch and provides an artistic rendering to deliver a clear visual solution for a realistic image. We also provide a cost estimate.
If you're pleased with the sketch and budget, we'll move on to the preliminary design phase, complete with final calculations, including design specifications, costs, and structural requirements.
Before we proceed with production, we finalize the construction details in a binding timetable.
Our next step is to execute the production and installation plan. Materials will be packed and delivered to the site, where our VCA-certified technicians will manage the installation.
Once the installation is complete, a handover with the project leader will take place, during which everything will be thoroughly checked. We also provide maintenance and service, customized to the project and in agreement with the client.
