Leisure Energy’s 5 Top Tips for saving energy within your business:

1. The MD/CEO of the organisation needs to ‘drive and own’ energy and carbon reduction through the production of a carbon reduction strategy.

2. Prioritise energy reporting/KPIs at board level equivalent to the emphasis given to fitness, sales and swimming income.

3. Review your Display Energy Certificate (DEC) Report & contact an energy expert who can investigate the delivery of energy savings across the estate.

4. Engage an energy procurement company to ensure you get the best price for your energy.

5. Look for the quick wins by training staff to turn off lights etc. and check your building management system (BMS) is turning equipment/plant on and off when it should!

Leisure Energy have installed new lighting within the Sports Hall at the Cefn Hengoed Leisure Centre on behalf of Freedom Leisure and Swansea City Council.

The existing sodium and metal halide lighting within the sports hall was relatively inefficient and prone to higher maintenance requirements. We have replaced with energy efficient led lamps and luminaires providing excellent, uniform levels of illumination to match all customer activities.

The installation will provide an estimated annual energy saving within the sports hall of 27,000 kWh of electricity, equivalent to 7,000 kg of CO2, giving a payback period of 5 years.

Does your company employ over 250 people, and have high energy usage?  If so, take a look at our MD’s short article on compliance with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme.
