Ventilation and hot water dominate
Air handling and showers typically account for most of the energy bill in a gym. Demand-controlled ventilation, driven by CO2 sensors rather than a fixed schedule, cuts fan energy significantly in off-peak hours.
Pools need covers
An uncovered pool loses most of its heat through evaporation. A cover used overnight is the single highest-return measure available to any facility with a pool.
Match the tariff to 24-hour operation
Facilities open early and late should examine time-of-use tariffs against their half-hourly profile. Where a meaningful share of load sits outside peak hours, the saving can be considerable.
