In the Heart of Malta: A Modern Sports Center Designed for Innovation and Sustainability
A state-of-the-art sports center has been established in the heart of Malta, offering athletes and sports enthusiasts a cutting-edge experience. The facility includes swimming pools, basketball courts, a gym, and various areas dedicated to fitness and wellness, making it one of the country’s top sports destinations.
The goal of the project was to create a highly functional and sustainable environment with the highest hygiene standards, while minimizing the consumption of resources such as water and energy—without compromising user experience.
With a high daily influx of athletes, visitors, and staff, managing water and energy consumption was a key challenge. The sports center required solutions that addressed three fundamental needs:
✔ Water and energy efficiency – Reducing water consumption and optimizing heating without sacrificing comfort.
✔ Hygiene and safety – Minimizing surface contact to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.
✔ Durability and resistance – Ensuring vandal-resistant, low-maintenance products capable of withstanding intensive use.
To meet these requirements, the sports center implemented an advanced electronic tap system for washbasins and flow-limiting showerheads, combining efficiency, innovation, and sustainability.
📌 Installed Solutions:
🔹 Electronic taps for washbasins – Designed to merge technology and sustainability, these taps activate only when hands are detected by the integrated sensor. This system reduces water consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional taps, eliminating waste while improving hygiene. Additionally, the automatic shut-off after one minute of continuous flow ensures even greater efficiency, while the anti-stagnation function, which activates every 24 hours, prevents bacterial growth—particularly crucial in high-traffic environments.
🔹 Flow-limiting showerheads – Designed to provide a comfortable yet sustainable showering experience, these showerheads limit the flow to 8 liters per minute, drastically reducing water consumption without compromising user comfort. The vandal-resistant design ensures durability in high-traffic areas, while the chrome-plated brass structure guarantees long-term reliability. Thanks to this solution, the sports center successfully reduced water consumption in showers while maintaining high user satisfaction.
✔ Reduced consumption and cost savings – The combination of electronic tapware and flow-limited showerheads optimized water and energy usage.
✔ Enhanced hygiene – Eliminating direct contact with taps significantly improved hygiene standards in shared areas.
✔ Lower maintenance requirements – The durability and reliability of the installed devices ensure an extended lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
