New ideas to reduce energy costs implemented by staff

Karl O Brien, Senior Lifeguard suggested turning off the lights around the deckside at 10pm when cleaning has been completed. This practice has now commenced.

Noel McCord, Duty Manager suggested turning off the features and flume slide at 10pm instead of waiting until lock-up at 11pm. This practice has now commenced. He also instructed staff to keep features to a minimum during quiet times and to ask customers which features they would like operated during these quiet times instead of running with a pre-planned schedule of features. He instructed receptionists to keep the main front doors closed and to monitor the gym doors to keep the heat and stop the heat escaping out the doors. 

Niall Harkin, Duty Manager ordered re-cycling bins from Dillon Waste and Duty Managers Noel McCord and Sean McCord are to assign re-cycling bins in the Sauna, Changing, Cafe and Gym areas.

New Policy documented by Noel Mccord on the above energy savings and reduction of carbon emissions.

1. All lighting around the pool deck and gym areas are to be switched off at 10pm weekdays and 8pm on weekends at the end of every shift. Lighting can be left on for essential cleaning in specific areas.
2. All features and flume slide are to be switched off at 10pm weekdays and 8pm on weekends at the end of every shift.
