As high consumers of energy, and with energy prices rising, aquatic centres have been identified as 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.

The Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity is hosting a webinar on Wednesday 14 September to share pathways for implementation of heat pumps, as well as best practice guidelines. This webinar will include insights from technical experts and from centres which have already implemented heat pumps or are in the process of doing so. Information on support from the Victorian Energy Upgrades program will also be provided.

Registration for this webinar is free. Zoom log-in details will be provided the day prior to the webinar.

This event is supported by Sustainability Victoria and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning on behalf of the Victorian Government.
