"Climate Fit": Floridsdorf Indoor Pool Shines in New Splendor After Comprehensive Renovation

Throughout the entire facility of the indoor swimming pool, both the technical equipment and the water treatment have been fundamentally renewed. The operation of the indoor swimming pool is primarily supported by a newly installed heating system that uses a water/water heat pump. This future-proof technology draws its energy from groundwater and significantly contributes to the sustainability of the operation.

Energy Efficiency Through Photovoltaics

To meet the electricity demand and reduce previous consumption, a powerful photovoltaic system was installed on the roof of the building. This extends over an area of 1,221 square meters and has a capacity of 260 kWp. These measures are part of a comprehensive plan to improve the energy efficiency of the indoor swimming pool.

Modernization of Technical Systems

In addition to the heating measures, the ventilation systems were also renewed. The entire building received thermal renovation, while the glass surfaces in the swimming hall and entrance area were replaced. To optimize the heating of the pool water, new heat exchangers and heating pumps were used. For water treatment, an adapted ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis system was installed, complemented by new circulation pumps and frequency converters.

Aesthetic Improvements for Users

The Floridsdorf pool has not only been technically modernized but also visually enhanced. The swimming hall and the sauna shine in new splendor, while the changing areas have undergone an appealing redesign. Additionally, the children's pool, the pool area, and the hall ceiling have been renovated. The sanitary facilities in the sauna have been fundamentally renewed and redesigned by gender, enabling mixed sauna operations on both levels.

Sustainability and Costs

The city has used technologies for the climate-friendly redesign of the indoor pool that have already been successfully applied in various "Get Out of Gas" projects in residential construction. The result of these works is impressive: the energy consumption of the indoor pool now requires 95 percent less district heating, 25 percent less electricity, and 55 percent less water compared to the previous operation. Overall, the costs for the renovation measures amounted to about 15 million euros.

Opening Dates

The opening of the renovated indoor pool will take place in stages. After the initial commissioning, which is planned for October 28, full operation will commence on November 18, promising all users a more climate-friendly and pleasant stay.
