Birmingham Public Schools faced significant air quality challenges in two of their indoor swimming pools. Matt Hess, the Assistant Manager of Operations, noticed an increase in chloramine levels just above the water’s surface during high volume swim events, a common issue that the existing HVAC systems struggled to address due to insufficient air movement.

Encouraged by the potential benefits, Matt explored the use of Airius fans in the spectator areas, which are unconditioned elevated alcoves with acoustic ceiling tiles. To improve comfort for spectators, an array of ten Model S-25 Fans with ACT kits was installed, enhancing air movement and providing evaporative cooling.
The tailored solutions provided by Airius, utilizing both the Q-Series and S-Series fans, underscore the versatility and effectiveness of their product range in addressing unique challenges at Birmingham Public Schools. The fans not only improved air quality but also enhanced the overall experience for all facility users.
