Showersave Blue QB1-21
Showersave, has collaborated with Blairgowrie Community Recreation Centre to deliver waste water heat recovery technology, helping create a low-carbon, future-ready facility for the local community.
Pioneered by Perth and Kinross Council, the £36 million facility located in the centre of Blairgowrie features state-of-the-art amenities including a 25m swimming pool, sports halls, fitness suite, dance studio and a PE classroom for Blairgowrie High School students and the wider public.
The former 1980s leisure facilities, which had served the community for over 40 years, no longer met the council’s vision of providing modern, high-quality spaces to support education, health and wellbeing.
BAM Construction
The new purpose-built centre includes a moveable pool floor, allowing the pool to be divided into two sections with different depths for flexible use. Designed by Holmes Miller, specialists in carbon-neutral developments, and delivered by BAM Construction, the facility sets a new standard for sustainable sports and leisure buildings in Scotland.
A key contributor to these savings is the installation of Showersave’s WWHRS. By capturing heat from shower waste water, the system preheats the incoming cold feed that refills the system.
Blairgowrie opted to install 18 Showersave Blue QB1-21 waste water heat recovery systems across the site, with each unit feeding two showers with sustainably heated water.
With heat transfer through the copper pipe to warm the incoming cold mains water, the result is a 42 per cent reduction in hot water demand, helping to save energy and make showering more sustainable
The 18 Showersave QB1-21 systems installed have been vital in helping achieve such a radical reduction in energy consumption, while ensuring that users always enjoy hot showers. This addition has ensured the Blairgowrie project achieves the rigorous standards required for Passivhaus certification.
