The graph that you see above
illustrates how Side Windows for an
indoor sports arena can have a veryprofound effect on the variation in
the daylight factor therein. This is a
very big step taken by the architects
in their wrong direction towards
sports architecture.

more. But as for now, it remains
lower in the ranks of the best day lit
indoor sports halls.(Author, 2014)

2.3.3(iii)Volleyball
For an excellently day lit hall for volleyball, GAIA Architects
recommend the following guidelines:-
Uniform, glare free light is vital and a designer is only
better off aiming at high levels of illumination(ranging
between 300-750 lux). Uniformity is of profound
importance as it will prevent fluctuations in brightness
from one part of the hall to another.
The volleyball should be at the back of the mind of
the designer. Since it needs to be visible at a certain
height.
Wall finishes should be matt and without
unnecessary decor

1.NYAYO NATIONALSTADIUM(INDOOR ARENA)
To run such a busy facility withartificial lights on for most part ofits life can prove to be a costlyaffair. This is because it not onlyentails the non-stop sucking of
electricity from the national grid,but also the maintenance ofspecialised electricalaccessories.Likewise, the diesel generatorsurvives on diesel which hasnowadays become quiteexpensive.
Mechanisms used to deliverartificial light into the indoorarena contribute towards globalwarming.
2.MOI INTERNATIONAL STADIUM(MAIN INDOOR ARENA)
The specialised light bulbs areexpensive to maintain. Inaddition, they consume asignificant
amount of electricity therebyraising the operation costs of thefacility.
Also, diesel guzzled by thegenerator is getting more andmore expensive by the day.
