States that air humidity in swimming pools must be closely controlled on the one hand for user comfort, and on the other for the durability of the building structure. Describes how the INSEP pool in Paris has opted for a partial thermodynamic dehumidification system. Finds that although the condensate levels were higher than recommended at time of measuring, this pool nevertheless showed satisfactory results in terms of energy consumption and costs. Also found that the heat demand of the pool compared favourably with an ordinary sports hall in relation to outdoor temperatures.
