How best to improve heating system

[CLHaines]

In a local swimming pool fresh air is drawn into the building, heated and blown into the pool room. The hot moist air then drifts across the pool via some poorly placed air-supply grilles and is then exhausted through roof extract fans! What is the best way to improve the heating system?

What's your climate? Where are you in the world?

Pool heating with solar panels is usually a pretty good idea.

Heat recovery on the exhaust stream, possibly with a runaround coil system.

Heatpipe dehumidification system around a cooling coil.

Why the runaround coil system?
And why the heatpipe dehumidification?

Are you familiar with American HVAC termnology?

A runaround coil is self-explanatory.....heat runs around from the exhaust to the inlet airstream in either water or a glycol solution. Heat recovery.

Heatpipe does the same thing using refrigerant for the working fluid. Heat recovery.
