Some extracts from ASHRAE Application A05:
“Pool and spa areas should be maintained at a negative pressure of
15 to 40 Pa relative to the outdoors and adjacent areas of the building
to prevent chloramine odor migration”
Or better, I am sending the whole chapter.

Great information, Ned.
I'd like to ask a few questions regarding your last paragraph:
- Do you know what is, or where I can find, the recommended negative pressure in swimming pools?
- When you said that at this recommended pressure, infiltration would be 1-2 times the required fresh air ventilation, do you mean that infiltration alone would be 4-8 ACH (1-2 times the 4 ACH recommended by ASHRAE)?
- As long as I understood, you say that most pools don't have in fact negative pressure. Do you have then any idea of what infiltration normally is in common swimming pools?
Thanks,
Rui
