Foothill College plans air-source heat pump for pool; members question limited EV charger count
Summary
Committee heard that Foothill College submitted air-source heat pump pool plans to the Division of State Architects and intends to install a modest number of EV chargers (20–40); members said the charger count may be insufficient for student demand and noted the project’s long timeline.
Chair (S3) told the committee that Foothill College’s design for an air-source heat pump system for the pool is complete and has been submitted to the Division of the State Architect (DSA) for review. "The design for the air-source heat pump system is now complete and submitted to DSA," S3 said, noting state-level review is required.
Committee members discussed the college’s timeline and EV-charger plans. S3 reported the college expects the pool work to be completed in 2030, which prompted members to call the schedule "a long, long thing." Several members questioned the planned number of chargers; S3 said the college intends to install only 20–40 chargers and committee members expressed concern that number will not meet student needs.
No formal action was taken; members noted the committee’s sustainability liaison role on the college’s sustainability committee and agreed to continue monitoring the project and its implementation timetable.
