Historic Home Turns to Commercial Dehumidification for Pool Design
The design and magnitude of a new residential indoor pool built onto a 21,000-square-foot, 100-year-old home named “Daybreak” in Montclair, New Jersey, confronted mechanical engineers with psychrometric and sustainability challenges on par with huge commercial indoor waterparks.
The 2,500-square-foot, two-story-high, rectangular pool enclosure features 21-foot-tall glass on three sides. The towering windows afford swimmers open, uncropped views of the 1.7-acre property’s aesthetic backyard landscaping that treks upward toward the First Watchung Mountain’s peak.
