Negawatt Projects to stage latest aquatic centre energy efficiency seminar

Finance / Recreation / Aquatics / Environment

Negawatt Projects is running another aquatic centre energy efficiency seminar, this one to be held at St Leonards College in Melbourne on 10th July.

The first session will investigate upgrades to aquatic centres and goes into detail of some successful upgrades of centres, what were the aims, who was involved and what challenges were overcome. The presentations will be from design teams, engineers, contractors and suppliers to give attendees the best chance of completing similar upgrades at their facilities while avoided headaches.

The second session looks in detail at more advanced energy systems and how these can be used to integrate multiple buildings.
