Keswick Leisure Pool improvements
Allerdale Borough Council in partnership with Carlisle
Leisure Limited is carrying out a number of improvements
at the Allerdale leisure facilities. These improvements are funded
by business rates relief which Carlisle Leisure Limited are
able to achieve due to having charitable trust status.
The use of these funds are jointly agreed by the partners
and to date have enabled a number of improvements to be made which
improve the quality of the Allerdale leisure facilities.
Roof glazing
The glazing in the roof of the building is being replaced by
insulated cladding panels, this will improve the energy efficiency
of the building and remove the risks associated with high level
glazing.
Energy efficiency
New and more efficient lighting was installed in the pool
hall during the January to March 2012 closedown.
Carlisle Leisure Limited carried out a thermal survey of the
leisure centre to identify areas where heat is lost and has
installed additional insulation to improve energy efficiency.
A new Building Management System (BMS) has been installed at the
leisure pool to enable the heating and ventilation system to be
controlled more efficiently than the original system which was 20
years old. Linked to a more efficient boiler the new system is
already reducing consumption of electricity and gas, while
maintaining a comfortable environment for customers.
New pool covers were fitted to save energy by reducing heat
loss from the pool when the facility is closed.
