ENERGY USAGE AND SAVINGS IN A HYDROTHERAPY POOL
Ian Ogilvie: A Chartered Health and Safety practitioner that specialises in the Leisure Industry with a particular passion for swimming pools. Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group Vice Chair, Royal Lifesaving Society Consultant and British Standards Institute committee member for swimming pools. With a passion for mathematics, nearly three years ago a colleague set Ian a challenge to try and predict the energy cost and carbon footprint of a swimming pool and pool plant room. He will guide you through the project and lessons learned throughout the program. Locally to Ian a small hydrotherapy swimming pool he has assisted with over the years for a charity for neurological clients set him a challenge. Try to lower the energy costs and carbon footprint to ensure the long-term viability to the centre. Let Ian share with you the potential opportunities to reduce the costs of running a swimming pool and maintaining water quality for the patients and hydrotherapists. Exploring energy saving items such as:
• Variable Speed Drives (VSD’s)
• Heating ventilation and air condition (HVAC)
• Swimming pool covers links to the Building Management Systems (BMS)
• Heat exchanger jackets
• Filtration heat loss
