Swimming Pools & Spas

Despite being widely-used amenities, indoor swimming pools and sports halls frequently place a financial burden on local governments due to their high annual operating costs. Buildings constructed to the passive house standard, with a good building envelope and natural ventilation, can help relieve the economic burden significantly in the long term.

High humidity in indoor spaces pose unique challenges to any acoustic wall or ceiling systems. Interior acoustics features must be designed so that condensation risks are mitigated, moulds do not grow on the surface, and any metal components do not corrode and fail over time. An acoustic feature covered in mould and mildew is both unhealthy and unsightly.

If not adequately ventilated, indoor pool and spa areas are subject to a number of issues ranging from odour build up and mildew to the deterioration of building materials and resulting structural damage. High-performance, motionless roof ventilation systems are the best solution for use in indoor pool and spa applications as powered units have a short life, require frequent replacement and are never a holistic solution.
