Performance Evaluation
  • Gas condensing boiler with hydro-ejector technology.
  • Seasonal assessment of radiant ceiling heating efficiency.
  • Review of heat recovery efficiency (>85%) in AHUs.
Diagnostic Testing
  • Envelope airtightness verification and thermal imaging.
  • Functional testing of lighting control and dimming features.
  • Commissioning tests on ventilation and heating systems.
Maintenance Review
  • Defined preventive maintenance procedures for radiant ceilings.
  • Operator training for energy-efficient HVAC management.
  • Updating asset register with performance benchmarks.
System Optimization
  • Fine-tuning hydro-ejector boiler operation for seasonal demand.
  • Balancing ventilation rates for comfort and efficiency.
  • Integrating energy and water monitoring for real-time analysis.
Efficiency Improvement
  • Optimized LED dimming schedules based on occupancy.
  • Enhanced IAQ through CO₂-responsive ventilation control.
  • Long-term performance tracking for continuous improvement.

Result: A modernized sports facility delivering exceptional energy efficiency, comfort, and operational performance.
