Racing Towards Sustainability: Beverley Racecourse’s Green Transformation with JLM Energy
Beverley Racecourse, a historic sporting venue in the East Riding of Yorkshire, is taking bold strides towards sustainability with energy-efficient upgrades and renewable energy solutions. Working alongside JLM Mechanical and Electrical, the racecourse has modernised its infrastructure to improve efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and create a more eco-friendly environment.
Modernising Facilities for Efficiency and Comfort
As part of its refurbishment project, Beverley Racecourse underwent significant upgrades to enhance public and employee areas, ensuring a modern and comfortable experience for all. The improvements focused on:
- Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Enhancements – Upgraded climate control systems to improve efficiency and air quality.
- Advanced Lighting Solutions – New energy-efficient LED lighting for enhanced visibility and reduced electricity consumption.
- Power and Communication Upgrades – Modernised power distribution and communication networks to support the racecourse’s growing needs.
- Compliance and Safety Improvements – Bringing facilities in line with contemporary energy efficiency and safety standards.
These upgrades not only optimise operational efficiency but also reduce overall energy consumption, aligning Beverley Racecourse with modern sustainability goals.
Harnessing Solar Energy for a Greener Future
Beyond essential infrastructure improvements, Beverley Racecourse is leading the charge in renewable energy adoption. A state-of-the-art solar photovoltaic (PV) system was installed on the racecourse’s newly rebuilt stables, helping to power operations with clean, renewable energy.
- 26-panel solar PV system generating 14.17 kW of power
- Designed to offset energy consumption and lower carbon emissions
- A cost-effective solution that provides long-term sustainability benefits
This solar installation, carried out by Green Building Renewables, marks a crucial step in the racecourse’s commitment to environmental responsibility and energy independence.
Building a Sustainable Future for Sports Venues
Beverley Racecourse’s sustainability efforts align with a broader movement towards eco-friendly sports infrastructure. Another standout example is Headingley Stadium’s recent energy-efficient transformation, where JLM Energy played a key role in integrating solar power, LED lighting, and smart energy solutions to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
A Winning Formula for Sustainability
By combining infrastructure modernisation with renewable energy solutions, Beverley Racecourse is setting an example for sporting venues across the UK. These investments are ensuring that the racecourse remains a leading venue for future generations while reducing its environmental impact.
