Translucent fabric for a ‘bright’ interior that utilizes natural lighting
Challenge:
Attach a climate-controlled air supported dome to the City of South Lake Tahoe’s existing swimming pool structure during winter.
The dome should be cost effective to operate, energy efficient and should take advantage of natural light.
Solution:
Arizon provided an air supported fabric dome that fits seamlessly to the city’s existing pool structure, installed by Arizon in the fall and dismantled each spring.
The fabric used is PVDF-coated translucent fabric that stays clean, enables snow to slide off of the structure during occasional winter snowfall and permits natural light into the dome during daytime hours.
Result:
The City of South Lake Tahoe can provide year round swimming facilities to the community.
This enables organizations to extend their swim programs, practices and lessons into the winter.
The seasonality of the dome makes year-round use of the city’s outdoor pool, which would otherwise be dormant from October through May possible.
