The energy consumption of an ice rink during the Christmas period is quite acceptable compared to that of households.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Energy consumption of a standard 200 m\u00b2 ice rink for one month<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A standard artificial ice rink typically consumes between 150 and 300 kWh per square meter per year<\/strong>, depending on the type of cooling system, insulation and environmental factors. Let’s assume a consumption of 200 kWh per square meter per year<\/strong> as an estimate for a well-insulated and efficient ice rink. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Energy consumption \/ m2 of ice = 200 kWh
\nEnergy consumption \/ year for a 200 m2 ice rink is 40,000 kWh (200 kWh\/m2 x 200 m2)

Energy consumption ice rink \/ month<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Energy consumption per month: 40,000 kWh per year : 12 = 3,333 kWh per month<\/strong><\/p>\n

So a 200 m\u00b2 ice rink consumes about 3,333 kWh<\/strong> of electricity in a month during the Christmas season.<\/p>\n

Energy consumption household \/ month<\/h2>\n

The average energy consumption of a household varies by season. In the winter period, electricity consumption increases due to the use of heating and lighting. According to estimates, an average family of 4 people uses about 350 kWh<\/strong>, depending on the house and heating technology. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Now we can calculate how many families
\nhave the same energy consumption as the ice rink
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

One ice rink = 3,333 kWh : 350 kWh per household = 9.5 households<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Comparison between consumption\/person at an ice rink and in a household:<\/h5>\n

IJSBAAN:<\/strong> A 200 m2 ice rink for one month can provide skating fun for about 12,000 skaters. This means that the energy consumption\/person is the following: 3,333 kWh : 12,000 = 0.27 kWh\/person.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

HOUSEHOLD:<\/strong> A family of 4 brings the following result: 350 kWh : 4 = 87.5 kWh\/person.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Conclusie:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Het energieverbruik<\/a> van een 200 m\u00b2 ijsbaan gedurende een maand in de kerstperiode is ongeveer gelijk aan het energieverbruik van 10 huishoudens van elk 4 personen in Vlaanderen of Nederland tijdens een typische wintermaand, inclusief verwarming en elektriciteit.<\/li>\n
  2. Het energieverbruik van 10 huishoudens geeft energie aan (10 gezinnen x 4 pers.) 40 personen.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Hetzelfde energieverbruik van de ijsbaan geeft schaatsplezier aan 12.000 personen + activeert de plaatselijke economie + promoveert de gezondheid en activiteit + brengt de mensen samen in een sociale gebeurtenis + etc..<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>
