My indoor pool has 3 double doors that lifeguards (1 in particular) insist on opening b/c they are "hot". All the toasty warm air goes out the doors and water temp drops. Generally, our weather here has been in the 60's, windy, cloudy, and allergies are bad. When I asked them to shut the doors, the new excuse is ventilation. An email had gone out weeks ago about the great HVAC system they installed, so I questioned if opening these doors is helping or hurting the HVAC's job. Pool manager then switched to the excuse that "I don't know, just following the recommendations of the Health Inspector." What the? I hate swimming just to stay warm but I'm also concerned about proper ventilation.
An update to my last post. It was raining and 38 degrees yesterday and just feet from the lap lanes, the door was open. The entire facility was cold, it was miserable. It makes more sense to lower the indoor heater if the lifeguards are so warm.
It makes even MORE sense for management to keep the facility at a temperature level most comfortable to the paying patrons of the establishment, than the temperature that keeps the employees most comfortable. Personally I think you should raise more hell about this. Squeaky wheel can get the grease.
