need to take into account a wide range of factors such as
bathing load, water temperature and quality, materials and
insulation of the pool hall envelope, plant location,
integration with the building structure, and capital,

instructors, lifeguards and spectators also need
consideration. Pool water temperature and air temperature
and humidity need to be controlled so that user comfort is
maximised and evaporation from the pool surface
minimised. Typically this balance is best achieved with pool
air temperature at or up to 1 degree C above pool water
temperature, and a relative humidity of 50-70%. Air
temperatures should not, in general, exceed 3OOC.
