Abstract

On a global level there is a significant number of swimming pools, which environmental impact cannot be neglected. The construction and maintenance of swimming pools is comparatively recent within the building sector, but contrary to what would be expected in most cases, this equipment have not improved its environmental performance over the last decades. In this chapter, a review is made of the state of the art in terms of passive and active measures that can be used to improve swimming pools, including suggestions for the main areas of action. Thus, technological suggestions for the thermal insulation of the tank, measures to improve thermal gains, automation system and an intelligent and predictive management platform, are presented and analyzed. The solutions that are available prove that there is a significant set of technological measures, some of them applied in other sectors, which when properly operationalized can decisively contribute to the reduction of the negative environmental impact of swimming pools.
