Controlling and Reducing Energy Consumption
How can we save energy at an existing leisure facility?
At many leisure facilities the opportunities to save energy are plentiful and possibly confusing...
- "A" rated plant - Condensing Boilers
- Invertors
- Pump Controls
- CHP systems - Combined Heat & Power
- Heat Recovery Technology
- Control Upgrades
- Renewable energy
- Pool Covers & Operating Procedures
- Recognising component failures in the existing design and making repairs.
It can be difficult to make the priorities effectively?
Should the focus be;
- The lowest capital cost?
- The shortest payback?
- The easiest project to do?
- The issues that I understand and effect me the most?
- Carry on as before?
They are all correct and valid reasons for making a priority, with the exception of ignoring the opportunity!
However before kicking off a project it is important to understand how one component can impact on the next, and making changes to plant will ripple out through all the other services. Without care it is possible to destroy the effectiveness of one energy saving measure by introducing another.
We can take you through the process and help you to understand how to make the priority schedule.
