Abstract
This study focuses on the design of a mechanical ventilation system for facilities housing swimming pools, emphasizing the importance of air quality in enclosed environments. Tempered pools generate high levels of condensation, which can lead to respiratory problems and structural deterioration due to humidity and the accumulation of chemical substances. The work comprehensively addresses the optimization of environmental conditions through an exhaustive analysis of the current situation of the facility and the design of solutions in accordance with ASHRAE and NEC standards. Utilizing engineering tools and specialized software, system calculations and modeling are performed, including simulations with ANSYS Discovery. These procedures ensure the system's efficiency in terms of user comfort and structural protection against corrosion. The main contribution of the study is the assurance of laminar airflow that remains within comfort conditions, preventing the presence of condensation and protecting the health of users and the integrity of the civil and architectural structures. The method employed is quantitative and descriptive, based on numerical data such as pool volume, facility area, and temperatures, and validated through modeling and analysis.
