Best practice for heat pumps in aquatic centres

Подробнее о видео

With support from Sustainability Victoria and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning on behalf of the Victorian Government, the Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity (A2EP) hosted a webinar to share pathways for implementation of heat pumps in aquatic centres, as well as best practice guidelines.

The webinar includes insights from technical experts, looking at all aspects of optimising energy use in aquatic centres (and swimming school pools), including addressing the building enveloped and energy efficiency first to how to consider heat pumps to support that is available from programs such as the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.

As high consumers of energy, and with energy prices rising, aquatic centres are a focus area for supporting electrification. Studies have shown Victoria has around 400 aquatic centres using a combined 3.5PJ/year of natural gas. Heat pumps represent are a high-efficient alternative for water-heating and providing other thermal services within aquatic centres, with the added bonus of being able to utilise on-site solar PV generation.

Presenters for this webinar:
- Noy Hildebrand, Revitalising Environments
- Derek Harbison, Negawatt Projects
- Dr Jean Jonathan Duverge, Northern Environmental Design
- Chris Warris, Northmore Gordon
- Tony Kimpton, TK Thermal
- Jarrod Leak, A2EP
