Energy and Resource Optimization for Fitness Center

Location: Birmingham, Alabama | Installed 2024

Challenge

A busy exercise and fitness center in Birmingham faced high operational costs driven by energy-intensive equipment, lighting, and HVAC systems.

With dozens of digital monitors, televisions, and machines running simultaneously during peak hours — combined with heavy water use from pools, showers, and restrooms — the facility needed a smarter way to reduce energy and utility expenses without compromising comfort or performance.

Solution

ENV Technologies implemented a comprehensive optimization program focused on three key areas:

1. Energy Efficiency: Installation of ENV’s Power Optimization devices to improve electrical efficiency and stabilize system voltage, reducing strain on sensitive electronics and gym equipment.
   
2. Air Quality: Advanced HVAC filtration and air validation solutions to enhance indoor air quality while cutting electricity costs tied to air handling.
3. Water Management: Strategic water optimization to reduce consumption across showers, pools, and restrooms.

Results (31 Days Before vs. 28 Days After Implementation)

After implementation, the facility achieved measurable performance gains:

• 13% reduction in total electricity consumption (kWh)
  
• 10–20% reduction in water usage
  
• Improved HVAC efficiency and reduced energy demand
• Extended equipment lifespan through stabilized electrical supply

Broader Impact

• Operational Savings: Lowered utility expenses without disrupting operations.
  
• Member Experience: Improved air quality and comfort in training spaces.
• Sustainability: Reduced water and energy waste supported the center’s environmental goals and community commitment.

The Outcome

By optimizing power, air, and water systems, ENV Technologies helped this fitness center achieve significant energy savings, lower operating costs, and enhanced facility performance — a win for both the business and its members.
