Using this guide by Carbon Trust could help your leisure centre save money and energy, and reduce the environmental impact of its operation, through better energy management. Just by making a 10% improvement in the management of energy use, UK leisure facilities could save up to £70 million each year and reduce greenhouse gas (carbon) emissions by hundreds of thousands of tonnes.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other pollutants are emitted to the atmosphere from boilers and from the power stations that generate electricity used in leisure centres. Saving energy decreases these emissions, reducing acid rain and air pollution and helping to tackle global climate change.

Every leisure facility can save energy but to be successful, a holistic approach is required. To make the most of saving opportunities throughout your building(s), it is important to try and follow the guidance in this document.

“I’m very impressed with the savings that have been made at our centre. By getting everyone involved, we really have started to make considerable inroads into our energy costs.” – Steve Hodges, North Somerset Council
