The purpose of this seminar is to provide research regarding the technological changes which have been made in increasing the efficiency of pool heating. The seminar will stress advancements in gas, solar, electric, heat pumps, geothermal, boilers and heat exchangers. The effectiveness of any heating system depends on the environment, indoor or outdoor; ambient temperature, wind factors; bather requirements as well as the availability of natural resources. The seminar will also discuss methods of conserving heat in order to curtail costs which impact the budgetary requirements within any aquatic environment. The key to being environmentally responsible (eco-friendly) will be how aquatic facilities can utilize these advancements in order to create an effective and efficient management of their heating equipment.
