Join us for a deep dive into the principles and practices of achieving NetZero certification in commercial pool design and construction. In this seminar, attendees will discover innovative strategies for integrating sustainability into every aspect of the pool project lifecycle, from initial design concepts and non-gas-fired pool heating sources to ongoing maintenance strategies. Participants will learn how to navigate the complexities of NetZero certification requirements, optimize energy efficiency, and minimize environmental impact while still creating exceptional aquatic spaces. Through case studies, practical examples, and expert insights, attendees will gain the knowledge and tools needed to lead the charge toward a greener, more sustainable future in commercial pool design and construction and meet client goals. Through a comprehensive examination, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of NetZero pool design and construction successfully.
