Sportoase
Sint-Niklaas
With Sportoase De Watermolen, Sint-Niklaas gained a state-of-the-art sports complex. The project combines sports, leisure and sustainability in one integrated whole. Behind the scenes, an advanced technical infrastructure ensures that the building functions efficiently, comfortably and energy-efficiently. For the smart integration and control of all techniques, TM Equans/van Roey relied on Jansen Smart Solutions on behalf of Sportoase .
Challenge
A modern sports complex is particularly technically challenging. Pools, sports halls, showers, ventilation, water treatment, heating and cooling must be perfectly coordinated. Moreover, a building of this scale requires intelligent control that guarantees both comfort and energy efficiency.
Sports complexes are among the most energy-intensive buildings. Pools must maintain a constant temperature, humidity must be precisely controlled, and thousands of visitors a week use the facilities. By integrating energy and consumption meters, the management of Sportoase De Watermolen can accurately monitor where and when energy is used. This data makes it possible to continuously adjust installations to further optimize energy consumption.
Facts
Result
Jansen Smart Solutions integrated 15 different technologies through 1 central platform…. These include HVAC control, ventilation, solar shading, floor heating, hot water production and water treatment. Systems such as showers, air groups and various energy meters were also integrated so that the entire building can be continuously monitored and optimized. In addition, several IP 55 touch panels were provided for staff and rescuers. With these, employees can easily call up atmospheres locally, operate recreational elements and alarms are immediately displayed, while at the same time the building management system keeps the overall overview.
A striking aspect of the installation is its user-friendliness. Through the BMS system, the various techniques can be managed centrally. “The idea behind this project was to have all the technical installations function as one ecosystem,” says Dries De Groote, COO Projects at Jansen Smart Solutions.
Sports and recreation in the most sustainable way
“The new sports complex in Sint-Niklaas perfectly reflects what we want to stand for as an organization: the best sports and leisure infrastructure in the most sustainable way. The building in CO2 neutral and we get all our energy from sustainable sources. Finally, the smart integrations ensure optimal management.”
