SMC2 proposes an economic and ecological concept: temperate basketball pitches at up to 12°C.
12°C TEMPERATE BASKETBALL PITCHES ARE CREATED USING SINGLE OR DOUBLE WALL TEXTILE COVERS.
Thermal comfort is provided by radiating gas panels combined with exclusive SMC2 air handling.
INTERVIEW: JEAN-P3 SIUTAT, CHAIRMAN OF THE FRENCH BASKETBALL FEDERATION
“It’s becoming increasingly difficult for local authorities to budget sports infrastructure financing.
We believe SMC2 is the ideal alternative, with so-called “light” structures that provide all the benefits of a classic gymnasium for a significantly lower price. In order to continue our objective to develop basketball in France, we can only encourage the initiative!
Similarly to SMC2’s choice of materials for its structures and its low operating costs, the FFBB has also been pursuing a sustainable development approach for several years and, as such, is a pilot sporting federation in France. Moreover, the development of basketball in the French overseas territories is part of the FFBB programme and the SMC2 structures are good way of contributing to that growth. ”
TECHNICALLY
Temperate basketball pitch design uses high environmental and architectural quality: it combines a glue-laminated timber frame with a translucent textile membrane cover.
Our textile membrane covers have a 17 year guarantee. Their curves inspired by major, world class facilities, withstand the test of time.
Air handling and double wall cover provide thermal comfort without any risk of condensation.

FINANCIALLY
Temperate basketball pitches are up to 50% cheaper to invest in than basketball pitches heated to 16°C. Using these savings, local authorities can add a club-house to improve club quality and organisation. Our timber frame club-houses are RT2012 compliant and are of high environmental quality.
ECOLOGICALLY
Our optimised building systems using textile membranes combined with a reasonable use of energy to make the building temperate allow us to create a very low environmental impact structure, both in terms of investment and operation. Our structures have a life cycle analysis that validates our techniques’ environmental performances.
Building a temperate basketball pitch is a reasoned action to control your budgets and protect our planet.
The facades are designed with architects to perfectly merge the structure into its context and its site using compositions of wall coverings: metal, timber, composite or mineral cladding… The textile facades can be screen printed to customise the structure.
SMC2 building systems have a CSTB technical assessment.
