A number of steps have been taken in the building and plant design of the new Southern Cross University Pool to incorporate best environmental sustainability practice for this particular facility. In summary they are as follows:

1. Water used to top up pool supply and to be used for filter backwash is to be collected via rainwater from the roof and condensate drainage from the mechanical air handling plant. It is likely that much of the time these supplies will be sufficient to meet the water demand for the pool building without requirement for town water supply top-up. Town water supply top-up is available in the case of the roof water supply being insufficient due to environmental conditions and climatic conditions.
    
2. With regard to filter backwashing, approximately 80% of filter backwash water will be filtered and recovered for use with on-site irrigation, rather than dumping to sewer.
    
3. Ultraviolet Disinfection system has been installed to provide disinfection without the addition of chemicals. This will significantly lower the minimum level of chlorine required to meet NSW Health guidelines for swimming pools. This will lower cost of provision of chemicals as well as making the swimming pool much more pleasant for patrons.
    
4. Pool heating is provided to allow the pool to be operated through the winter months. The heating system is a heat pump system, similar to the system used for air conditioning. This is the most efficient method of heating per unit energy in comparison to direct heating using either gas or electricity.
    
5. Air Handling is being managed by use of a heat exchange system so that incoming air can be normalised to the ambient in-room temperature prior to it being delivered. The energy will be extracted from the exhaust air so as to minimise requirement for additional energy input to the pool area as air is expelled from the building. It is anticipated that this, in combination with the maintenance of the pool water body at a stable temperature will keep the ambient conditions inside the pool at approximately the same temperature as the water temperature.
