efficient plant solutions tailored to the unique demands of leisure facilities, particularly where pool plant is involved.
The decarbonisation works across the three centres form part of a broader drive toward environmental responsibility in public leisure facilities. By improving energy performance, reducing carbon emissions and enhancing system reliability, the upgrades contribute to lower operating costs, greater resilience and improved user comfort.

We are pleased to be associated with the LEISURE CENTRE DECARBONISATION
Local stakeholders have underscored the importance of these works for both environmental and community outcomes. Improved facilities support health and wellbeing agendas by providing welcoming and efficient leisure environments, while decarbonisation aligns with wider strategic objectives for climate action at local and regional levels.
The project illustrates how coordinated design and delivery across architecture, engineering and construction can modernise existing leisure buildings without wholesale replacement. By retrofitting low-carbon systems and upgrading building services, the programme sets a precedent for similar initiatives in public infrastructure where sustainability and community service intersect.

CASE STUDY
Decarbonising Leisure.
Designing for Real Performance.
Three leisure centres. One clear outcome. Lower energy, better buildings.
From gas to low-carbon heat, without rebuilding the system.
ADVERTORIAL
CLIENT: North Hertfordshire District Council LOCATION: Royston | Hitchin | Letchworth
SCOPE: Sustainability + MEP Design
HOW WE DID IT
Dynamic simulations Operational energy by end use
Daylight optimisation Right daylight, less energy
Operational modelling 17 step methodology to close the performance gap
Low-carbon heat transition From fossil fuel to electric heat pumps
R290 heat pump integration Higher flow temperatures
Load analysis & validation As-built data, surveys, real demand
Leisure centres are some of the most energy-intensive buildings in the public sector.
QODA led the sustainability and MEP design for three sites, focused on reducing operational energy and ensuring performance in use, not just on paper.
Using dynamic simulation and daylight modelling, we optimised the design early, balancing energy, comfort and usability.
WHAT WE UNLOCKED
Evidenced-led decarbonisation strategy
Strong business cases and investment plans
Successful Salix PSDS Phase 3 funding
Lower operational energy and carbon emissions
