The natatorium experience for a patron should be no different to any other room in a building. It should be comfortable, healthy and have good air quality. When designing a natatorium relative humidity, air temperature, pool water temperature, pool activity levels, air distribution, outdoor air, exhaust air and pool water treatment are all key aspects that must be addressed to provide a good environment.
While 50-60% relative humidity levels are ideal for bather comfort and health they can lead to condensation problems and serious damage to the building structure. If the building structure itself has not been properly designed for this higher humidity application catastrophic results may occur.
