Located in the wood of Vincennes, Paris, the INSEP pool ( Higher National Institute of Physical Education) is a major training Centrex for French and international swimmers. It shows a swimming pool (50m), a water polo pool (33.3m) and two SPAS. But, the hall humidity and the water temperature must be carefully controlled both for the athletes’ comfort and for the building longevity.

The INSEP pool opted for a partial thermodynamic dehumidification system, the main challenge being the management of the effects from the large glass walls.

EcoEnergie's processes have been selected to take up this challenge. The suggested solution consists in recovering some of the latent heats from the water stream releases from the pools evaporation, in order to heat the hall air and the hot sanitary water. Moreover, sun energetic loads and spa-heating consequences had to be faced up by dispelling the excess energy in the water polo pool.
