Jake Bruton walks through the basement beneath an indoor perpetual pool at the Rocky Top Aarow project, joined by Randy Williams from Green Building Advisor. The space sits below a salt water swim spa — the only basement on an otherwise slab-on-grade house — blasted out of solid rock. Jake covers the composite pan decking system, EPS foam compression under the pool, all-aluminum HVAC equipment rated for chlorine environments, and an open-bottom sump setup made workable by the rocky soil. One lingering question: how the pool's humidity load will affect the rest of the house, since the clients opted against a vestibule separation.
