Design Procedure
The design approach was rather unique in that Holst and Reuss were working with a team in Germany and
Simmonds and Gaw, and a team were working in America on the practical design of the airport.
Holst used TRNSYS and CFD to simulate the indoor environmental conditions and to model envelope design. The envelope of the concourses consists of a teflon membrane and glass section. Special attention was paid to the coating of the glazing. The inside surface of the laminated glass had a low-e coating. The low emissivity would re-direct the cool radiation effect from the floor back into the space. This can be identified as follows:
