Killarney sports & leisure centre energy report

 At Killarney Sports & Leisure we operate a modern, purpose-built facility comprising of a 25 meter pool, and a learner pool, a recently updated fully equipped gym and a state of the art health suite consisting of a jacuzzi, sauna & steam room.

We aim to provide high quality standards of customer care in a friendly and professional atmosphere delivered by expert, enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. Our facilities and programmes are designed to reflect a lifestyle driven approach focusing on health, fitness, wellness, sport and education to provide for a healthier community.
 
As with all organisations, we recognise that our activities do involve negative environmental impacts. It is our aim to minimise these by;
 

• Complying with environmental law
• Reduce our use of single use plastic
• Measuring and monitoring our environmental performance
• Actively seeking to continuously improve our performance
• Minimising the risk of pollution from our operations
• Encouraging our suppliers, customers & other stakeholders to do likewise

This is reflected in our commitment to €coMerit Environmental Certification.
 
Our most significant direct environmental impacts arise from the electricity and gas we consume. In order to minimise this, we take steps to ensure that equipment and lighting is only operating when required, and that energy-efficient LED lighting is in use where possible in the premises. In 2018 the pool hall lights were upgraded to LED lights resulting in huge energy savings
We routinely monitor our electricity, gas and mains water usage and operate a strict segregation system to ensure our waste is recycled wherever possible and landfill waste is minimised.
In all our activities, we aim to be an environmentally responsible member of the community we serve.
