Abstract
Design of a geothermal spa must include vital considerations which include, but are not limited to cleanliness and sanitation standards, accessibility, the surrounding environment and its target clientele. In Kenya, emphasis for utilization of geothermal resources is inclined towards electric power generation, although in recent years, Direct Use is becoming popular, and one of the areas being pursued is construction of geothermal spas. The Menengai geothermal field is currently under development and geothermal fluids are now abundant from geothermal wells, among them, Menengai Well (MW) 07. In this paper, a 1,000m2 geothermal spa alongside a 100m2 children’s pool is designed to utilize the fluids from MW 07.
