ASHRAE 90.1 baseline for pool dehumidifier

1 post / 0 new

I was wondering if anyone has had experience modeling a pool facility
for LEED and could recommend what is a "baseline" dehumidifier system
that complies with AHSRAE 90.1. One though I had is 100% outside air
system with 50% effective sensible heat recovery to satisfy AHSRAE 90.1
G3.1.2.10. One dealer I talk to claimed this was "industry standard".

However, if my proposed dehumidifier saves energy by reducing the amount
of OA that needs to be reheated (it should drop to about 30% OA) will I
run into trouble with AHSRAE 90.1 G3.1.2.5 that says I need to have the
same min. OA in the baseline and proposed?
