Aquatic facilities have had a history of problems associated with indoor air quality. Air quality is impacted by air temperature, humidity, pool water temperature and water chemistry. This session will discuss recent trends in indoor air quality and aquatic facilities as well as techniques to improve the quality of indoor conditions. Data will be presented on temperature/humidity ratios and how indoor activities impact the performance of the aquatic spaces. Discussion will focus on current trends in mechanical system design and things to consider for future implementation. Time will be allocated for questions and answers to respond to issues impacting the members’ indoor aquatic facilities. Chris Chivetta has been involved in the design and construction of sports, recreation and aquatic facilities at over 70 institutions across the country. He has presented at several Athletic Business Conferences on topics ranging from selecting a design team to mechanical system design. He has also presented at conferences for the Society of College and University Planners and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.
