Some other things to consider for modeling pools.
Public pools are often drained and refilled as frequently as every month. This is a huge energy and water consumption factor, often larger than the day-to-day use of heating and dehumidification.
ASHRAE Applications has a pretty good section on Nataoriums to help with load calculations.
Also, getting loads from RETScreen can work. TRNSYS has a pool component you can purchase from Transsolar.
There are DX heat recovery AHU's that can save a significant amount of energy, Dectron and Seresco are two common manufacturers. The savings from the heat recovery can be modeled(approximated) in eQUEST, but I haven't tried other tools.
Hope that helps.
