CHP is going swimmingly at leisure centre

摘要

As businesses and organisations look to reduce energy consumption to minimise related costs and emissions, addressing the energy efficiency of our existing building stock offers a practical starting point. One organisation that is leading by example is Cheshire East Council, which recently announced its ambition to become carbon neutral by 2025. A key area of focus for Cheshire East Council is its leisure centres as these sites are typically intensive energy users. Heating and hot water provision accounts for a large proportion of energy bills, particularly in facilities with swimming pools. Electricity usage is also high, especially in centres that use it extensively for air conditioning, ventilation, lighting, fans, pumps and more.
