No pain, but lots to gain as Dantherm slashes
energy costs
A ground-breaking project, undertaken by Dantherm five-years-ago, has produced breathtaking results thanks to the installation of a new air-handling unit at a popular fitness centre.
In 2012, David Lloyd Leisure in Bristol sought the help of
Dantherm after an old ventilation system being used in their
popular swimming pool hall began to run ineffectively.
With energy consumptions through the roof and savings
needed to be made, Dantherm’s DanX XKS system was seen
as the perfect replacement to cutting costs.
With its highly efficient cross flow heat exchanger, the DanX
XKS perfectly controls the humidity and indoor temperature
whilst offering energy recovery of up to 80%.
Since the installation, Dantherm have monitored the difference
between the old unit and their own system and the reduction
of energy consumption is clear to see with a huge drop of over
60% in the average gas consumption.
As well as seeing a cost reduction, David Lloyd have enjoyed
improved pool conditions for their customers as well as a
protection from dampness to their building structure.
What made this project so unique was that it was implemented
without the need for expenditure from David Lloyd Leisure,
with funding provided by investment vehicle Decarbon – an
independent specialist investment manager that specialise in
energy and resource efficiency initiatives.
Dantherm once again delivered this project ahead of schedule,
DanX XKS installation at David Lloyd
with a particular focus on keeping the facility safely open to the
public whilst the work was carried out.
Dantherm’s Pool Ventilation Sales Manager, Jamie Herdman
said: “We continue to measure the actual energy consumed by
the DanX XKS at David Lloyd and it clearly demonstrates that
the equipment is performing just as efficiently as when it was
installed five-years-ago.
“It was clear that something needed to be done for this
particular swimming pool hall, and I think our customer is
currently enjoying so many benefits that they haven’t looked
back since its installation.”
