Premium fitness facility takes energy efficiency to the next level
MOVATI Athletic is one of Canada’s fastest growing fitness clubs, known for an upscale fitness experience and state-of-the-art amenities. When it came time to build a new 70,000-square-foot fitness club in Windsor, Ontario, choosing high-efficiency equipment reduced natural gas costs, lowered the club’s carbon footprint and improved guest comfort.

“We chose to install high efficiency equipment because the long-term energy savings outweigh the higher cost of equipment.”
With locations across Ontario, MOVATI is known for building features that create a safe and comfortable experience for members. With the help of Enbridge Gas incentives and one of our Energy Solutions Advisors, MOVATI was able to add energy efficiency to its list of building features. Together, they identified energy-efficient upgrades that lowered energy costs and also lessened the building’s environmental impact.
More comfort and control over costs
As part of Enbridge Gas’ Commercial Fixed Incentive program, an Energy Solutions Advisor worked with MOVATI to recommend appropriate high-efficiency equipment and estimate savings based on the equipment that was installed. Air curtains keep guests comfortable at entrances. Heat and energy recovery ventilators (ERV/HRV) reduce humidity near swimming pools. To avoid wasting energy during off hours, demand control ventilation (DCV) sensors, operating on a system separate from the ERV/HRVs, are used to adjust ventilation based on the club’s occupancy.
MOVATI’s team is looking forward to maintaining the highest standard for members. Energy efficiency is no exception.
“Our Energy Solutions Advisor was very helpful in the process from start to finish. They answered any questions and helped determine equipment eligibility.”
