Exhibition Room 1 Climate Care: The Next Crisis – Active measures you can take to generate momentum from an energy & water shortage Water & Energy – The Twin Crisis The swimming pool and spa industry is heavily dependent on water and energy resources. With greater power demands due to population growth and frequent drought related water restrictions, governments and their agencies seek to influence and regulate for more sustainable water and energy efficient usage. Looming expensive and regulated energy supply along with water restrictions will make owning a swimming pool and spa less desirable. Without change, the swimming pool and spa industry will have to overcome significant commercial, consumer and regulatory barriers. Everyone has some skin in the water and energy game. The risks have driven SPASA Australia to think creatively and collectively to meet future industry needs. Sustainable swimming pools and spas, installations and related products will enjoy a distinct advantage in the future. How we all respond to the challenge of becoming a sustainable industry will determine the outcome. Overcoming future barriers requires a new approach, with industry having an important role to play in future-proofing our industry. |
