In the current energy crisis, it is imperative that large energy consuming centres such as Dandenong Oasis are choosing sustainable energy generating solutions and energy conservation equipment wisely.

Conserving energy can often be a much easier process than generating it, and often, pool covers are the most cost-effective investment an aquatic centre can make to save energy.

It has been indicated that this pool blanket project would provide up to 18% savings in gas energy used at the centre and would significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the facility.

Carbon emissions are the largest contributor to air pollution, which is suffocating our environment. It is therefore critical that businesses and individuals start to implement effective carbon management strategies, so that we can reduce our negative impact and help sustain the environment for future generations.

Additionally energy reductions provide financial savings which would be reinvested into the centre via services and programs that benefit the community.

My children use this pool often. It would be great to know that they are going somewhere that cares for our environment. It’s also encouraging to know that the savings will go back into the centre.

I use this pool twice a week and it is often cold on entering, but once we start exercising it soon feels warmer. A pool blanket to warm it would be great.

I have been a continuous Member at Dandenong Oasis Swimming Pools for the last 27 Years & swim 5 days a week. I know it take a huge amount of energy to heat the Pool Water & to maintain the temperature at 29 Dec C.... A Pool Blanket would save many $1000's of dollars each year & save the Environment as well
