Please explain HVAC and open doors

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.

  • There are 3 nearby indoor pool facilities that do not have their doors open, so I'm wondering if this particular facility has a less than desirable air quality. Sorry I wasn't clear. The door's aren't open to the outside but are open to a very large adjacent rec pool area. While not the same as outside I'm sure it helps to dilute the virus before it goes through the air filtration system.
