End-to-end energy efficiency project at Club Reus Deportiu’s facilities
Thermal insulation and fitting photovoltaic panels at Club Reus Deportiu’s sports hall.
To achieve 100% energy independence, a comprehensive energy efficiency and decarbonisation project was implemented for Club Reus Deportiu divided into three stages.
The first included removing the sports hall’s asbestos roof, converting spaces for fitting photovoltaic panels and replacing dehumidifiers and LED lighting.
In the second and third stages, gas systems were removed and replaced with air-source heat pumps and a community was built which can harness the self-generated and stored energy.
In this first phase of the project, the thermal insulation of the administrative building and the hockey hall was improved. In the former, the waterproofing system was replaced while in the latter the asbestos was removed from the roofs in order to fit an
State-of-the-art photovoltaic panels with a capacity of up to 1 MW were installed on the roofs of the sports complex. The system produces 1,391,000 kWh/year of which 70% is for self-consumption and the remaining 30% is fed into the distribution grid.
The two dehumidifiers in the swimming pools were replaced by new Eiter equipment with greater dehumidification capacity and lower electricity usage.
Halogen lamps in both the swimming pools and the hockey hall were replaced by LED lighting which is much more sustainable.
