Key features of bioclimatic pools include:
1. Solar Optimization: Designs that maximize natural light while managing shading to maintain optimal temperatures.
2. Water Recycling: Systems to reuse rainwater and filtered water, minimizing waste.
3. Native Landscaping: Incorporating local vegetation for natural shading and aesthetic appeal.
4. Renewable Energy: Utilizing solar panels or geothermal systems to heat the pool efficiently.
5. Ventilation and Thermal Management: Using natural airflow and materials with high thermal inertia to maintain consistent temperatures and reduce energy usage.
In addition to environmental benefits, bioclimatic swimming pools often embrace trends like biophilic design, which integrates natural elements to promote relaxation and wellness, and advanced technologies for automation and energy efficiency.
For more details, exploring companies like Amusement Logic and eco-focused architectural practices can provide insights into current and future projects in this field.
With this project, EKTER raises its backlog to 160 million. euros (with private and public projects) and a significant further strengthening is expected as it participates in many tenders.
EKTER subsidized the large project for the study and construction of a bioclimatic swimming pool in the Municipality of Ampelokipi-Menemeni . According to information from ypodomes.com, two schemes participated in the bidding process, EKTER and the RAILWAY WORKS-TECHNOLOGY association. EKTER prevailed with an offer of 24.43 million euro.
The project has a budget with VAT of 32 million. euros (amount without VAT 25.8 million euros). The construction of this super-locally important swimming complex will serve, for the aquatics sports , not only the needs of Thessaloniki but also of Northern Greece . It will be the only complete and functional swimming complex in the city in which international competitions can be held.
With this project, EKTER raises its backlog to 160 million. euros (with private and public projects) and a significant further strengthening of it is expected as it participates in many tenders such as for example the Police Headquarters of the KTYP where it has been announced with ERETVO and TENA as a temporary contractor.
What is the project
The new bioclimatic-energy autonomous swimming pool will be built in the former camp "Alexander the Great" . Its total area is 16,100 sq.m, and includes an indoor swimming pool - square - open courts . According to the approved building plan, it will serve aquatic sports and host major international events.
It consists of indoor and outdoor swimming areas, namely:
– Olympic-size indoor swimming pool (25.00 x 50.00 m) with bleachers for approximately 1,250 spectators for the sports of swimming, synchronized swimming, water polo and diving,
- indoor learning pool for children (10.00 x 12.50 m.).
– outdoor pool (25.00 x 33.00 m) with stands for approximately 450 spectators for the sports of swimming, synchronized swimming and water polo.
It will also be the only indoor swimming pool in Northern Greece with a 10m diving pool.
In all areas, the possibility of access and use for the disabled is provided . The facility will include all the required spaces to serve athletes, spectators and journalists.
Energy-bioclimatic design
The study of the "Enclosed Swimming Pool of Ampelokipi Thessaloniki" is based on energy planning principles for the building shell and E/M facilities, aiming to minimize energy consumption for the operation of the swimming pool, while the architectural solution of the building is based on the principles of bioclimatic design.
In particular, the climate of the area was studied, so that the building could make use of the climatic data , the system of openings , the quality of the glazing, the sun protection system and the size and inclination of the blinds were optimized based on special sun-shading studies, studies for the intensity of natural lighting and to prevent glare. In order to finalize the design decisions and the dimensioning of the structural elements, thermal simulations and parametric analysis were carried out . The energy behavior of the building was examined under real operating conditions both as a training facility and when it operates with a large number of spectators during swimming competitions.
It is expected to have a 21.32% reduction in the energy consumed to cover the total heating needs of the buildings and a 22.13% reduction in the energy consumed to cover the total cooling needs.
Parking spaces
In the basement of the complex, in addition to the spaces required for the building's E/M service facilities, sufficient storage spaces and parking space for 30 cars are placed to serve mainly the staff. In addition to these spaces in the special area provided for parking and serving the sports activities of the complex, 122 parking spaces can be developed.
