Leisure Energy shortlisted in two Constructing Excellence Awards 2016 categories
Leisure Energy is pleased to be shortlisted in two categories in Constructing Excellence’s 2016 Awards: Innovation and Whole Life value.
Constructing Excellence is the single entity charged with improving the construction industry’s performance and developing a better built environment. The annual awards recognise the best-in-class across 15 categories.
Leisure centres with lean operations have a positive effect on revenue. More funds become available for improving facilities when operational costs are low. Our Whole Life Costing approach takes this a step further by securing customers the most economical energy products. By factoring in running costs as well as upfront investment, the best value can be achieved. Our aim is to always provide the best solution over the life of the product, not to make a quick sale and leave customers with high running costs. We partner with our customers long term to achieve the predictions identified in our energy assessments.
Our holistic approach to energy management has earned us recognition in the Innovation category. Reviewing a whole site produces exponential results compared to analysing areas individually.
This is an exciting time for Leisure Energy as we grow and the number of leisure centres we help increases. We are very pleased our work to minimise the environmental impact of leisure centres has been recognised by Constructing Excellence.
Winners will be announced at the Gala dinner on Thursday 30th June.
Leisure Energy becomes a member of SPATA
Leisure Energy holds quality and technical excellence at the centre of everything we do which is why we recently became a member of Swimming Pool and Allied Trades Association (SPATA.) SPATA works together with its members to provide owners and prospective owners of pools with clear, trusted guidance on all aspects of swimming pool installation and maintenance.
By working with industry bodies to set benchmarks, SPATA has become an authority on swimming pools in the UK and internationally.
Each supplier is vetted before becoming a member so customers are guaranteed a high quality of service provided by experts in their fields.
SPATA remove the inconvenience of researching multiple areas of swimming pool management by providing customers with a central knowledge base, free consumer advice and pre-approved supplier information. Customers benefit from well-designed swimming pools that give the best return on investment.
Leisure Energy is pleased to be working with SPATA to deliver first-class, sustainable swimming pool services.
Changes in EU Public Procurement rules and the UK’s commitment to the Climate Change Act signal a new era for energy saving
Leisure operators demonstrating energy reduction initiatives are likely to be increasingly favoured in Government contracts. Two factors are influencing this shift – pressure on the Government to meet carbon targets set out in the 2008 Climate Change Act and a new EU directive in Public Procurement due to come into force in 2016.
The new directive has been introduced to streamline procurement and help Public Sector bodies get value for money. It recognises the cheapest option may be a false economy so tenderers must demonstrate their offer is more economical in the long run compared to other bidders.
The Government is bound by the 2008 Climate Change Act to meet regular Carbon targets by 2020…
