Saint-Eustache Aquatic Complex

Warm and safe corridor

An electric infrared heating solution is not only the most efficient way to reduce energy consumption for buildings with large volumes, but is also to be favored for unique applications such as corridors between swimming pools and changing rooms in aquatic centers.

The Saint-Eustache aquatic complex project is a perfect example of why electric radiant heating is the safest and most efficient solution for heating corridors close to swimming pools.

Project presentation

To heat the corridors of the Saint-Eustache aquatic complex, we opted for a series of OCH units from Fostoria. Specifically, the 3kW OCH-57 series, available at 208V and 240V.

The advantages of radiant heating for aquatic complexes and swimming pools

Among the advantages of using an electric radiant heating solution to heat the corridors of aquatic centers and sports centers with swimming pools, the aspect of safety and comfort is particularly prevalent.

Security

When it comes to swimming pool safety, we’ve heard it all before. “Don’t run on the edge of the pool”. However, once wet, the ground is dangerous to walk on. Fortunately, radiant heating heats the floor directly, creating a safe, dry floor and reducing the risk of falls.

In contrast, convection heating heats the air and the warm air tends to rise towards the ceiling, leaving the floor wet and dangerous. What’s more, warm air is lost in draughts, requiring more energy to maintain the desired temperature in the corridor.

Radiant heating reduces the risk of burns on electric baseboard heaters or other types of heating installed at the bottom of the wall.

Comfort

As well as offering greater safety, electric infrared heating increases comfort for pool users. By heating people and the floor directly, the heat is more uniform and there’s no unpleasant draught for people leaving the pool, as with a unit heater.

For the same reason, we use the same heating technology to increase comfort in spas like the one at Spa Storm nordique du vieux Québec.
