Sustainable public swimming pools: design, technical, and operational concepts
Moderator: Dr. Stefan Kannewischer
Sustainability and urban resilience are at the forefront of water facility development. From reducing embodied carbon in pool construction to insights from a decade of practical decarbonization strategies, these sessions explore how data-driven decisions and holistic planning can reduce energy consumption and costs. Looking to the future, hybrid pool concepts highlight the role of versatile, compact designs in shaping sustainable urban development. Taken together, these perspectives show how rethinking construction, operation, and urban integration can create water facilities that are not only efficient but also an important asset for future communities.
