Space Diagram
In the summertime, the retractable roof above the swimming pool is left open to allow hot air to escape from the sides, promoting air circulation and preventing excessive heat buildup.
As the day progresses, the intense heat that accumulates beneath the roof slowly dissipates, resulting in a comfortable and usable environment for swimming and recreation. By utilizing this strategy, the swimming pool and surrounding recreational area can remain enjoyable even on hot summer days.
During winter, the roof of the recreational area and swimming pool is kept closed to shield them from harsh winds, temperatures, and precipitation.
The roofing system efficiently traps the minimal heat gained from solar energy within the system, which increases the internal temperature of the cold area. As a result, the swimming pool can be used in all weather conditions, making it an all-weather facility.
