Abstract

A study on the environmental principles underlying the design of the Royal Albert Hall, following plans developed by the Victorian building services engineer Wilson Weatherly Phipson. It explores how the vast auditorium with crowds of up 8000 people was ventilated and its indoor climate controlled without mechanical air-conditioning, using nineteenth century methods of cooling, humidification and heating. Moreover it examines some of the challenges encountered with maintaining thermal comfort.
