Opinion: A Call for Engineering Experts
– Measure UU Passed, Pool Design Is Next –
Measure UU: A call for engineering experts among our community –
We are faced with a very interesting and challenging engineering problem: designing a pool that will meet the neighborhood’s aquatic needs for the next 50 years within the constraints of the Piedmont Climate Action Plan and the State of California 2035/2050 goals.
.
Very few pool design companies have the skills to analyze and optimize the complex trade-offs between the various available energy technologies and the pool size in area and water volume. Piedmont has an opportunity to innovate and show the way for other communities.
.
We would like to call on the engineering skills within the members of the community to join us with the goal of making back-of-the envelope calculations on various options, based on data gathering and scientific calculations. This would help the City Council to make decisions on how to proceed.

You can connect to us by email: piedmont.green.pool@ gmail.com or through this PCA forum.
