SPEED Development Consultants SA organised a technical workshop on “Guidelines and Tools for energy upgrading of indoor sports facilities (gym / swimming pools)” at the PARTHENON Hotel in Athens on Thursday 29/9 as part of the “Step2sport – Step-by-Step Renovation of nearly zero energy Sports Buildings” funded by the European Intelligent Energy programme. The event was attended by representatives of over 30 municipalities from all over Greece, the General Secretariat of Sports, members of the private sector and companies that are active in the energy sector, as well as representatives of the SOS MEDITERRANEAN network.
The results of the project were presented at the event and participants were informed about useful tools and methodologies that facilitate the adoption and monitoring of energy saving measures in sports buildings (eg Indicators, Financing Mechanisms, Energy Efficiency Contracts, etc.), as well as appropriate mechanisms and equipment for the implementation of energy saving interventions.
Finally, the conference featured good examples of sports facilities that invested in their energy upgrades and “won the bet” on savings, both economically and in terms of reducing their energy footprint, in Greece and abroad.
