Consider an enclosed swimming pool. The pool area has a sensible heat loss of 424,000 Btu/hr (124 kW) and a latent heat gain of 530,000 Btufhr (155 kW) on a design day when the outdoor air is at 35 F (2 C) and 20 percent relative humidity (RH). The space is to be maintained at 75 F (24 C) and 50 percent RH. Outdoor air is to be heated to 60 F (16 C), mixed with recirculated air from the conditioned space and the mixed air heated to supply conditions.

In an attempt to conserve water and to be awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, a 20,000-liter cistern has been installed during construction of a new building. The cistern collects water from an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system designed to provide 2830 cubic meters of air per minute at 22°C and 50% relative humidity after converting it from ambient conditions (31°C, 70% relative humidity). The collected condensate serves as the source of water for lawn maintenance.
