Facility Specification Pack
Badminton is unusually sensitive to the building around it. Lighting, ceiling height, background contrast and air movement can make a technically correct court frustrating to play on, so the hall needs to be designed as part of the sport.

PROJECT PATHProject Brief
01
PROJECT INTENT
Define the facility level before selecting systems.
Club / academy
Club multi-court hall with better lighting, backgrounds, storage and repeat setup.
Competition
Competition hall with exact clearances, resilient floor, controlled lighting and spectator/event infrastructure.
Elite / major venue
Elite multi-court venue with disciplined airflow, lighting, media, seating, warm-up and tournament operations.
02
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Twelve coordination clauses for the complete facility.
geometry
Coordinate singles/doubles markings, court-to-court separation, back/side clearances and overall hall circulation. Court count alone is not a useful hall metric.
surface
Select sprung/resilient wood, synthetic roll or approved competition pathways around shock, slip, seam control and portability.
equipment
Posts, bases/sockets, nets, umpire chairs and service/height measuring equipment need repeatable setup and safe storage.
lighting
Avoid direct luminaire glare in players' upward view. Background brightness and fixture position matter as much as nominal lux.
spectators
Keep seating and movement out of visual backgrounds and court safety zones; control bright openings behind baselines.
structure
Clear height, roof trusses, ducts, lights, speakers, divider tracks and scoreboards must stay out of critical shuttle trajectories.
environment
HVAC is a sport-performance issue. High air velocity or poorly placed supply grilles can move the shuttle and create uneven courts.
accessibility
Provide accessible routes/viewing without using court clearances as circulation corridors.
storage
Nets, posts, umpire chairs, roll floors, shuttle/teaching equipment and dividers need close, dry storage.
technology
Scoring, video, cameras and FÍSVOR displays should be positioned to avoid bright backgrounds and airflow obstruction.
evidence
Use BWF rules / technical guidance for court and equipment; exact surface and equipment evidence remains product-specific.
lifecycle
Control floor cleaning, seam condition, net/post setup, lighting cleanliness, HVAC balance and storage damage.

EVIDENCE & RELEASE
Keep each evidence type attached to what it actually proves.
Governing rule
Defines sport or competition requirements. It does not approve a supplier or local construction detail.
Exact product evidence
Testing, approval, certification or manufacturer evidence must match the selected product/configuration.
Installed outcome
Where applicable, field/court/facility certification relates to the completed installation rather than the product alone.
Project engineering
Foundations, structural supports, wind/seismic, electrical and building interfaces remain project-specific.
Commercial release
Quantity, documentation, warranty, freight, installation boundaries, spares and handover are closed before order.

TECHNICAL RISK CHECK
Common symptoms that should trigger investigation.
Shuttle drifts unpredictably
Measure air velocity and review supply/return grille location, doors and destratification fans.
Players lose shuttle in lights
Review fixture position, aiming, ceiling/background luminance and glare.
Dark/bright background inconsistency
Review glazing, wall finishes and spectator movement behind court.
Floor seams lift
Review storage, installation tension, subfloor cleanliness and adhesive/tape method.
Posts lean under tension
Check base/socket stability and net tension.
Tournament setup slow
Review court carts, storage distance and divider/official equipment sequence.
08
PRIMARY GOVERNING REFERENCES
Verify final requirements at the official source.
BWF Statutes & Laws
Use the current BWF Laws of Badminton and technical regulations as the governing reference.
SUPPLY BOUNDARY
Apollo is supply-only.
Local design, foundations, civil works, installation, electrical work, statutory approvals, accessibility compliance and professional sign-off remain with the appropriate project parties unless a specific support item is expressly included. Current governing-body rules, exact selected-system data and local requirements take precedence over this planning pack.
