Joint Energy Consultancy Partnership of the Year Award from the EMA
We are so pleased to announce that we are joint winners with Ashford Borough Council and Freedom Leisure for the Energy Managers Association Energy Management Consultancy Partnership 2021 award.
Our award was based on the carbon reduction projects at The Stour Centre in Ashford, Kent. The installation included 3 x Air Source Heat Pumps, 598 solar photovoltaic panels, nearly 400 low energy light fittings, air handling motor upgrades and water pump upgrades. This work was carried out from the government Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) grant, funded through Salix Finance.
Fantastic news – well done everyone who worked on the project.

Project installations commenced at Torbay Leisure Centre
Work is underway on the energy efficiency installations at Torbay Leisure Centre to lower the carbon emissions at the facility and future proof for the future.
The new equipment includes:
· two air source heat pumps which will provide heat for the water for both the pool and the heating system;
· 476 solar voltaic panels on the roof which generate electricity for the centre;
· Renovated ventilation to ensure the correct air temperature is maintained in the pool and sports halls.
· 474 LED light fittings within the pool hall, sports hall and gym, corridors, and squash courts.
The project is funded through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme grant of £1.85m which was secured by operating partner Parkwood Leisure in collaboration with Torbay Council received earlier in the year. The project is being delivered by Parkwood Leisure and Leisure Energy; once the installations are completed, the carbon emission saving is estimated to be 318 tonnes, or the equivalent of 318 hot air balloons per year will contribute to the Council’s net zero emissions target.
