[Z320] Saving energy in swimming pools (recording)
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.

CONTENT

Background and introduction

  • Overview of the types of facilities, distinguishing between wet and dry sides
  • Typical energy balance within a wet centre, both thermal and electrical
  • Core drivers of energy consumption - dehumidification, filtration, lighting 
  • Pool filtration - an overview of standard Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG) recommendations, and their effect on energy consumption
  • Evaporation calculations and associated models
  • Principle of fresh air dehumidification

Immediate energy saving opportunities

Monitoring and targeting, profiling and benchmarking
Optimising water and air temperatures
Ensuring correct pool hall air flow rate
Controlling for out-of-hours conditions, full and low occupancy
Using pool covers properly
Frequency of backwashing

Medium-term energy saving opportunities, requiring investment

New or replacement pool covers
Variable-speed control of fans and pumps
Variable demand-led pool water filtration systems
LED lighting & controls
Low flow showers
BMS systems, linking air handling units

Longer term energy saving opportunities

Replacing pool hall air handling systems
Heat recovery
Combined heat and power
Replace and /or decentralising gas-fired boilers
Air- and ground-source heat pumps
Solar thermal
Solar photovoltaic
Alternative filtration systems
