Heating and cooling padel courts, tennis courts and sports facilities

Solutions for heating and cooling sports facilities, padel and tennis courts

Ensuring the right indoor climate in a sports facility is not only a matter of comfort for athletes and spectators, but also of energy efficiency and cost reduction. Indoor padel courts, tennis courts, sports halls and gyms require targeted heating and cooling systems capable of adapting to large spaces and high ceilings.

What are the main challenges in heating and cooling sports facilities?

Sports environments present several specific challenges — here are the main ones:

Large volumes and heat dispersion make traditional systems inefficient.
Need for targeted climate control in playing areas and stands, avoiding waste.
Intermittent use of facilities, requiring quick start-up and shutdown.
High energy costs that impact the management of gyms and sports centres.
Safety and impact resistance, with systems that must not interfere with activities.

Innovative solutions for heating sports facilities

To address these challenges, SIABS offers gas infrared heating systems — ideal for providing immediate thermal comfort with energy savings of up to 60% compared to hot air systems.

Frequently Asked Questions on sports facility heating

Is radiant heating suitable for gyms and sports facilities?

Yes. It provides immediate comfort for athletes and spectators without air turbulence or temperature fluctuations.

Does SIABS also offer cooling solutions?

Yes. During summer, courts can be equipped with evaporative cooling systems, ideal for tensile structures and covered spaces.

Are SIABS solutions suitable for all types of indoor courts?

Yes. They can be installed in tensile structures, gyms and indoor courts, adapting to each facility’s size and architecture.

Is there a radiant heater that expels combustion fumes outdoors?

Yes. The STANNUM infrared heaters, patented and manufactured by SIABS, combine all the advantages of luminous ceramic radiant panels with a sealed structure and an integrated fan that vents exhaust gases externally through a flue. With power outputs from 7 to 22 kW, they quickly reach the desired temperature.
