Small sports centre at Freudenstadt Vocational School Centre

Sports venues like the small sports centre in Freudenstadt present special challenges when it comes to preserving drinking water quality. Although the venue is very busy during schooldays and training sessions, usage may fall off significantly or even stop entirely in holiday periods. This allows water to stagnate in the drinking water installation piping and increases the risk of Legionella. Monitoring and on-demand control of the system therefore become critical here. As the Freudenstadt District Administration operates several properties at different locations – with technical access varying by building and maintenance supervisor – the need for centralised, remote control of the building systems also became clear during the renovation project.  

As part of the renovation project, the building operators decided to install the SCHELL SWS Water Management System, including the cloud-based SMART.SWS service, combined with various electronic wash basin taps and showers. SMART.SWS provides the District Administration with centralised and remote access to the SCHELL building services, and simplifies monitoring, control and record-keeping for all networked fittings. With SWS, multiple buildings can also be considered individually or as a group. The SMART.SWS dashboard offers at-a-glance access to temperature curves, calculated water quantities, frequently or rarely used fittings (together with their battery levels) and much more besides. This compact overview lets the building operator plan drinking water system maintenance efficiently, and thereby save both time and money. The automated execution of stagnation flushes effectively minimises the risk of Legionella spreading uncontrolled within the installation. 

The intelligent wash basin taps in the PURIS family also help to improve user hygiene thanks to their built-in infrared controls. This also helps to cut water and energy consumption, as the flow of water stops automatically when the user moves their hands out of the sensor’s detection range. 

A total of 9 LINUS Inox DP-C-T shower panels were installed in the shower showers at the small sports centre, along with matching trim panels and integrated CVD touch electronics. The built-in ThermoProtect thermostat provides effective anti-scalding protection while also ensuring user comfort.
