When Leisure Energy’s expert consultant, Dr Bob Hardwick worked with Bridport Leisure Centre in Dorset, he first of all carried out a full assessment of its energy consumption and benchmarked the data against our database of over 1000 working leisure centres across the country.

Dr Bob was able to establish and develop a strategy for controlling and reducing the energy needed to run the building to maximise operational efficiency. Our expertise at establishing, developing, testing and monitoring the best suppliers is second to none and Leisure Energy was able to suggest an ongoing plan for Bridport that would see it enjoy eventual energy cost savings of £40,000 per year.

Through initiatives ranging from a better quality, superior pool cover and energy efficient lighting, to a more complex boiler temperature strategy, adjusted for condensing and weekly purging, the results had a major impact. As well as the significant cost savings, the adoption of leading edge technology through a dual solar and heat pump project also resulted in a 67% reduction in C02 emissions.

Bridport Leisure Centre was extremely pleased with the results, particularly with our collaborative approach to the project and stakeholder management strategy which is key to achieving success in this kind of undertaking.
