[Equest-users] fishpond

[Arpan Bakshi]

We had a recent project with exterior fish ponds looking at their effect on microclimate. Any experience w/ this condition?

Without having experience with fishponds, I would approach it like a natatorium (indoor swimming pool) and use the ASHRAE Handbook – HVAC Applications Chapter 5 for design guidance and loads calculations. Also, see this article: http://hpac.com/humidification-dehumidification/simplified-calculating-evaporation-1011/ for alternate method of calculating evaporation loads. Based on your drawings, I would also research state-of-the-art for aquaculture facilities, as that looks to be what you are designing.
