Envelo is a cutting-edge technology designed to connect to a variety of IoT devices, aiming to enhance building performance, improve indoor air quality, and generate significant energy savings. Our recent collaboration with The Porchester Centre demonstrates the substantial impact of Envelo’s solutions on building management, indoor health and wellbeing and energy efficiency.
Integrating Envelo’s technology demonstrates how historic
buildings can evolve into smart, efficient spaces for the
future.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy efficiency are crucial in gyms and recreational facilities. Research by Joseph Allen and Harvard University shows that poor IAQ can harm health, cognitive function, and productivity. Improved ventilation and reduced CO2 levels can boost cognitive function by up to 101% and cut sick building syndrome symptoms by 25-50%.
In gyms, maintaining clean air is vital due to increased respiratory rates, as poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues and reduced workout performance. Envelo’s technology optimises IAQ, enhancing health while keeping energy costs low by adjusting ventilation as needed.
Envelo optimises spaces for health and reduces energy costs. By leveraging advanced technology to monitor and manage both indoor air quality and energy use, Envelo ensures facilities provide healthier environments while achieving significant energy savings. For example, smart ventilation management can cut energy consumption by at least 20%, directly translating to lower operational costs and carbon footprint.
To enhance and maintain indoor air quality in the facility, providing a cleaner and healthier environment for both patrons and staff.
To identify and achieve energy savings, by optimising ventilation management throughout critical areas of the Centre. This not only reduces operational costs by conserving energy, but also fosters a more comfortable and healthier environment.
To communicate the health of spaces to gym users, providing valuable information on the environment they are working out in, thereby enhancing their overall experience, fitness and well-being.
Envelo was deployed to provide real-time monitoring and analysis of indoor air quality and energy usage across the specified areas. This setup aimed to identify inefficiencies and suggest actionable insights for improving air quality whilst reducing energy consumption.
The initiative at The Porchester Centre was paralleled by a similar implementation at Moberly Sport Centre, (which is a modern building), for comprehensive comparison and evaluation.
Health & efficiency enhancement: Adopting Envelo centralises data on a simple to use platform, enhancing indoor space health and efficiency. It continuously monitors and manages air quality, adjusting ventilation as needed, even during peak occupancy, to ensure optimal conditions.
Actionable alerts: Where automation isn’t possible, Envelo provides valuable real-time alerts and proactive information that centre management can act upon.
Financial & operational savings: Leveraging Envelo supports environmental sustainability efforts, offering substantial financial savings and operational efficiency for facilities, underlining the tangible benefits of our smart technology integration.
The implementation of Envelo’s innovative technology at Everyone Active’s Porchester Centre has clearly highlighted the potential for enhancing indoor environments to be healthier, more energy-efficient, and cost-effective.
Envelo has shown that even historic buildings can embrace sustainability and energy efficiency, challenging the notion that old structures are limited by their age. Whether applied to historical gems or modern facilities, the prospects for rolling out Envelo’s technology in similar venues look both bright and thrilling.
