Net Zero Pod at leisure centre to reduce council’s carbon footprint

South Kesteven District Council is investing £4m in low-carbon heating system as part of a strategic move towards moving towards more sustainable leisure facilities. The Net Zero Pod at Grantham Meres Leisure Centre, which is operated by LeisureSK – The council’s wholly-owned leisure management company – utilises air source heat pump technology to dramatically reduce operational costs, boost efficiency and cut carbon emissions.

Delivered in partnership with leisure development specialists Alliance Leisure and renewable energy specialist Leisure Energy, Net Zero Pod (NZP) replaces the leisure centre’s gas boilers. The air-to-water NZP has been uniquely designed for use within a leisure and swimming pool environment and is installed as a complete unit.
