For the first part of your question you could consider metal plate connected wood trusses as alternative. There is a badminton design guide available at
https://www.sportengland.org/media/4169/badminton-design-guide-dec-2011.pdf which lists minimum dimensions per court as 9.1m x 17.4m. You could use 10m x 18m and run the trusses in the 10m direction with 18m truss girders over three bearings. This would give columns at the backs of the court and along the net line. These spans are well within the capabilities of wood trusses.
As for the second part of your question you could investigate either a light colored, reflective metal roofing or a vegetative roof system. With proper ventilation the metal shouldn't gain as much heat from the sun and be relatively low cost, easy maintenance. A vegetative roof should be cooler but will be much heavier, more expensive to install, and be more difficult to maintain. The green roof would satisfy your earth materials question but protecting the building structure from the earth covering is where the expense is incurred.

Subject: Indoor badminton courts
Is there any other alternative methods of building a indoor structure other than steel trusses. Also during hot climates the temperature inside the court is extremely tense, what kinds of roof can be used to maintain a pleasant temperature? And can any earth materials be used to construct an indoor court for economy purposes?
Thanks in advance to all ASCE members.
