Full title and description

STB VDI 2089 Blatt‑1 2010‑01 — Technische Gebäudeausrüstung von Schwimmbädern - Hallenbäder (Building services in swimming baths - Indoor pools). This technical rule gives guidance for heating, ventilation/air‑conditioning, sanitary installations, water supply, drainage and electrical systems for publicly used indoor swimming pools; it is intended for planning, operation and modernization of such facilities.

Abstract

The 2010‑01 edition describes design values, usability requirements and practical recommendations for the technical building services of indoor public swimming pools. Topics include air‑conditioning and flow rates, heating system design, water supply and drainage, sanitary fixtures, pipe and duct insulation, electrical installations, structural and technical fire protection and saunas. The guideline was prepared as a planning and decision‑making basis for building services engineers and pool operators.

Scope

This part of VDI 2089 applies to the heating, room‑air (ventilation and air‑conditioning), sanitary and electrical systems in publicly used indoor swimming pools. It covers both new construction and the modernization/retrofit of existing facilities and provides planning values, functional requirements and practical design guidance for the technical building services of hallenbäder (indoor pools).

Key topics and requirements

• Usability and hygiene requirements for pool halls and associated rooms (ventilation, moisture control, condensation prevention).
• Air‑mass flow ratings, ventilation and air‑conditioning design for pool spaces and spectator areas.
• Heating system design including pool water heating and space heating arrangements.
• Fresh water supply, pool water make‑up and sanitary system design.
• Drainage systems, overflow and wastewater handling for pools and wet areas.
• Selection and layout of sanitary equipment, fixtures and fittings for changing and shower areas.
• Insulation requirements for hot and cold water pipes and ventilation ducts to avoid heat loss and condensation.
• Electrical engineering requirements for pool environments (safety, earthing/ bonding, lighting in wet areas).
• Structural and technical fire protection aspects relevant to pool buildings.
• Design guidance for saunas and associated service systems where applicable.

Typical use and users

Used by building services (TGA) planners, MEP engineers, architects, facility and operations managers of public pools, consultants for HVAC and sanitary systems, and authorities responsible for sports and leisure facility compliance. The guideline is intended as a practical reference during design, tendering, commissioning and modernization projects.
