Barcroft Sports and Fitness Center
This popular new building is used intensively by thousands of Arlingtonians for long hours. Activities at the center include basketball, gymnastics, and fitness classes. AIRE completed a lighting retrofit in late 2009, which helped cut electricity use. AIRE funded a re-commissioning in 2012 to help the Sports Center operate more efficiently, and “air pear” fans will be installed in 2013 to help improve air circulation in the gymnasiums. Barcroft is already showing energy savings from these recent improvements.
