Inspire advances energy management scheme
Inspire Leisure has installed swimming pool covers at its Arun Leisure Centre site in Felpham, near Bognor Regis, as part of its ongoing energy management plan.
By covering the pools at night, heat loss and evaporation is reduced, generating around £500 of savings each month.
Inspire Leisure, which manages Arun District Council's leisure facilities, has already installed similar covers at its Littlehampton Swimming and Sports Centre, and is now looking into the possibility of generating its own electricity at the two sites.
Inspire's energy management scheme - implemented in 2006 - was planned with assistance from the Carbon Trust, which also helped with funding and research.
Inspire has invested £109,000 in the scheme to date and expects its investment to pay for themselves within four years.
