Thermal environment is quite important for many modern ice competition venues. Maintaining a stable ice pad satisfying requirement usually consumes high energy consumption for refrigeration in curling competition. In this paper, a curling venue with ethylene tetra fluoro ethylene (ETFE) membrane structure is taken as an example to analyze the ice making load of the curling ground. Field tests for thermal environment are carried out in this venue in winter. The sources of ice making load are determined and possible reducing approaches are proposed to lower the energy consumption for ice making issue. It's indicated that average ice making load of the curling ice is 156 W/m², among which long wave radiation contributes 55.5%. The ceiling temperature could reach 26 °C, contributing more than 70% of the longwave radiation. As the view factor between audience and ice surface is quite limited, the interaction is not obvious. It's also noted that cavity ventilation could be a special method to lower the roof temperature on basis of avoiding condensation, reducing the ice making load by 7% for this special building with ETFE membrane envelope. It's hoped that the current research will be beneficial for the design and operation of an ice competition circumstance.

对于许多现代冰上比赛场地而言，热环境非常重要。维持稳定的冰垫满足要求通常会在冰壶比赛中消耗大量的制冷能量。本文以乙烯四氟乙烯（ETFE）膜结构的冰壶场所为例，分析了冰壶地面的制冰负荷。冬季在此场所进行热环境的现场测试。确定制冰负荷的来源，并提出可能的减少方法以降低制冰问题的能耗。表明卷冰的平均制冰负荷为156 W / m ²，其中长波辐射占55.5％。天花板温度可能达到26°C，占长波辐射的70％以上。由于观众和冰面之间的视野因素非常有限，因此互动并不明显。还要注意的是，空腔通风可能是一种特殊的方法，可以避免结露，从而降低屋顶温度，对于带有ETFE膜套的特殊建筑，制冰负荷可降低7％。希望当前的研究对冰上比赛环境的设计和运行有帮助。
