The Challenge
Humidity Control & Condensation Prevention
Indoor aquatic facilities generate significant amounts of moisture every day. Each pool zone — lap pools, learn-to-swim, hydrotherapy, splash play, leisure and children’s pools — evaporates at a different rate depending on water temperature, surface area, occupancy and pool activity.
Without properly engineered humidity control, condensation can quickly damage the building structure and create unsafe, uncomfortable conditions for swimmers, spectators, instructors and lifeguards.
- Wet and slippery surfaces
- Condensation on glazing and ceilings
- Corrosion and rust
- Building deterioration
- Mould and mildew growth
- Poor occupant comfort
- Increased maintenance costs
- Elevated CO₂ and chloramine levels
Prevent Condensation & Corrosion
Protect glazing, ceilings and structural elements from moisture damage.
Maintain Healthy Air Quality
Manage CO₂ and chloramine levels for swimmers, staff and visitors.
Support Occupant Comfort
Deliver stable, comfortable conditions across all pool zones.
Our Approach
Fresh Air & Dehumidification Strategies
Outdoor climate conditions play a major role in determining the correct system design. In some climates, fresh air ventilation alone can manage humidity; in more humid environments, incoming outdoor air may itself need dehumidification before entering the building. Pine Group designs ventilation systems in accordance with AS 1668.2 to ensure adequate fresh air throughout the facility, engineered around local climate, pool operation and usage patterns.

Ventilation systems help manage fresh air, exhaust, air movement, and indoor environmental quality. For manufacturing facilities, ventilation can support humidity control, heat removal, pressure relationships, and overall climate stability.
Engineered Around Every Pool Zone
Each pool area behaves differently, so accurately calculating evaporation loads is critical to selecting the correct dehumidification capacity and airflow rates for stable indoor conditions.
- Water temperature
- Pool surface area
- Occupancy levels
- Pool activity type
- Air temperature
- Ventilation rates
- Outdoor climate conditions
- Change room humidity loads
Pine Group also designs dedicated ventilation and dehumidification for change rooms and amenities areas, where showers, wet surfaces and high occupancy commonly drive excess humidity and condensation.
