Wellness Room Standards

The complete Restrepo standard for wellness room technology infrastructure. Covers sauna and steam control wiring, moisture-rated audio and lighting specifications, ventilation integration, and the trade coordination sequence for luxury residential wellness spaces.

What This Standard Covers

  • Sauna heater control wiring and sensor placement for temperature and humidity monitoring
  • Steam generator control infrastructure: low-voltage wiring, sensor, and safety interlock
  • IP and moisture rating requirements by zone: wet room, steam room, and dry sauna
  • Moisture-rated speaker selection, placement, and conduit routing for audio in wellness zones
  • Color-tunable lighting control infrastructure for circadian and scene-based wellness lighting
  • HVAC integration for post-session ventilation, air quality, and humidity recovery

Who It Is For

  • AV and automation integrators building wellness room technology to Restrepo specifications
  • General contractors managing sauna and steam rough-in coordination
  • Architects specifying wellness technology infrastructure in luxury residential design
  • Interior designers coordinating control placement with tile, glass, and finish selections

When To Use It

  • During design development to select wellness technology platform and establish wiring requirements
  • Before framing to incorporate sauna and steam room enclosure dimensions into drawings
  • At rough-in to run all conduit and wiring before thermal barriers and tile substrate are installed
  • At commissioning to configure wellness scenes, climate control, and automation integration

Field Notes

Wellness room technology is a specialty scope because the environment is hostile to standard hardware. Heat, humidity, and steam are present simultaneously. The hardware selection, conduit sealing, and device ratings in this standard are specific to that environment. Standard residential specifications do not apply.

The most successful wellness rooms are the ones that feel effortless to use. The lighting changes with the session type, the audio starts automatically, and the climate recovers after use without manual intervention. That level of integration starts with the pre-wire decisions this standard covers.
