[Z320] Saving energy in swimming pools (recording)
£ 50 gbp
This is an individual private study course using a recording of a live event and its associated handouts.
It covers the theory and practical realities of energy saving in swimming pools and their associated facilities.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The seminar is designed for operators of wet leisure centres (and stand-alone swimming pools) and for energy consultants who may need to provide advice in that sector.
