Conference
Palace
Tripoli, Libya
As the focal point of the Tripoli Greens Conference Complex,
the Conference Palace contains a 2,000 seat conference hall
complete with audio/video systems, TV/Radio broadcast facility,
a ceremonial space, a press conference center, meeting rooms,
catering facilities, archive library, and other related areas
for the participants in the General People’s Congress.
Sustainable energy saving concepts being
utilized are a natural “Displacement Ventilation” system and
free cooling in the Conference Hall. With this system, only
the lower third of the hall volume (the occupied volume), will
have traditional mechanical heating and cooling. Air will be
supplied beneath each of the 2000 seats and will be returned
just above the occupied area. Warm air will collect at the upper
portion of the structure, well above the occupied level of the
hall, creating thermal buoyancy and stratification within the
space and will be vented. This hot air will rise in the space
driven by the natural stack effect and be relieved from the
top of the space. |
