ADQUIO ANALYTICS · USE CASES

A pool needs to maintain its conditions as attendance changes. A sports centre must balance service, comfort and technical demand.

This article presents a use case with simulated data. The main image is a generated illustration; the screenshots show the Adquio Analytics interface.

The scenario: Solar Sports Centre

The reference centre covers 3,000 m², with 1,400 members, 22 employees and a maximum occupancy of 240. A 375 m³ pool and 24 showers operate alongside photovoltaics, storage and hot water production.

Analytics connects facility use with pool processes and domestic hot water. Comparing periods helps separate permanent demand from user-related loads and water treatment needs.

Questions this example helps answer

Visualisations become useful when they support a specific decision. This example helps explore the following questions:

What changes as attendance rises?

How do pool temperature and water treatment behave?

How are showers, hot water and energy demand related?

Energy overview

Read generation, demand, grid supply and storage together.

How to read it. Distinguish the centre’s permanent technical needs from attendance-related demand.

Sports use and services

Follow users present, visitor arrival rates and the facility’s energy demand.

How to read it. Compare similar activity periods when reviewing the relationship between service and consumption.

Swimming pool, water and hot water

Inspect pool and hot water temperatures, chlorine and pH in separate panels with their own units.

How to read it. These are model references, not a substitute for statutory pool hygiene checks or certified measurement.

From example to your installation

The same approach can be adapted to the variables and equipment available in your project. Start with the decision to support, then choose the appropriate measurements, units, periods and visualisations.

DataSource collects and prepares the data, and Adquio Analytics presents it in dashboards. Review measurement coverage and keep the same boundary when comparing days, areas or equipment.

The screenshots illustrate analytical possibilities. They do not verify savings, operational results or automatic control of equipment in this example.
