IAQ Mission Courses

Coming in September 2026, the IAQ Mission course library will provide practical, expert-led training designed to improve indoor air quality in natatoriums. Whether you’re an engineer, architect, facility manager, operator, coach, or member of the aquatics community, our courses will equip you with the knowledge and best practices to help create healthier, safer, and more sustainable indoor aquatic environments.

For engineers, IAQ Mission courses will be PDH accredited, allowing you to earn Professional Development Hours while gaining practical knowledge from industry experts with decades of experience in natatorium design and indoor air quality. Upon completion, certified professionals will also be eligible for inclusion in the IAQ Mission public directory, helping facility owners identify qualified IAQ-focused design professionals.

POOL-101: Introduction to Natatorium Air Quality

Start Date: September 2026

Course Overview (55 Minutes)

Audience

• Engineers (Mechanical engineers, consulting engineers, design-build engineers, and other HVAC professionals involved in natatorium projects)
• Facility Managers and Operators
• Patrons

Goals

By the end of this session, attendees should:

• Understand the risks and root causes of poor natatorium IAQ
• Recognize that there is no “one thing” that causes poor natatorium IAQ; instead, factors such as building architecture, pool water chemistry, HVAC design, facility management, and patron habits interplay to impact natatorium IAQ
• Learn best practices for ventilation, air distribution, and humidity control.
• Learn best practices for pool water chemistry management
• Understand how operational realities affect design performance
