Putney Leisure Centre gets eco-friendly upgrades

Putney Leisure Centre has recently undergone significant eco-friendly enhancements, including upgraded lighting and a new air handling system. These improvements aim to provide better air quality and consistent temperature control in the pool area, enhancing the overall experience for swimmers. Moreover, the new systems are more energy-efficient, contributing to a reduction in the centre’s carbon emissions.

The previous emissions from the Putney Leisure Centre were 646 tCO2e, and the new emissions will be 599 tCO2e. This reduction is equivalent to cancelling 47 flights from London to New York each year or driving 235,000 miles in a petrol car.
