Energy Management Solution Helps YMCA Flex its Efficiency Muscles
The YMCA of Southwest Kansas is where people discover who they are and all that they can be. The 68,000-square-foot facility welcomes 6,000 registered members with an additional 22,000 guests per year who participate in more than 91 programs with 74,000-plus check-ins per year.
Lighting and cooling a facility of this size is no easy or inexpensive process — a task which aging equipment and budget constraints only made more daunting. In a single month, the YMCA was consuming 11,208 kWh, and replacing worn-out bulbs seemed to be a perpetual process costing thousands of dollars.
