Summary: | In the year 1968, the municipality of Vienna, Austria decided on a concept regarding the construction of socalled district baths (public indoor swimming halls). The design of many of the public swimming pools constructed in that period was done by Friedrich Florian Grünberger, an architect, who was considered to be an expert on to swimming hall facilities. His entire oeuvre encompassed swimming pool facilities in many countries of central Europe. Moreover, the majority of his Viennese buildings still exists and is in usage, and form the backbone of the swimming sport facilities in Vienna. This contribution reports on the finding of a recently finished master thesis that focused on the energy performance of swimming halls, in detail of the modular swimming halls designed by Grünberger. Thereby, the original bath designs and retrofit measures that have been applied in recent years were considered. Given the high complexity of swimming pool halls, the energy saving potential of such facilities requires a holistic assessment that includes (i) the building’s envelope, (ii) the complex HVAC and operational technology required by the usage, and (iii) the indoor thermal comfort requirements by the customers in the swimming halls. One of the bath halls has been looked upon a bit more in detail (Floridsdorfer Bad). Here, the improvements over time could be studied in detail. The contribution reports onto the current energy usage by the building, contracting models for energy saving, as well as typical policies and potential fallacies of public swimming pool hall retrofit. |
