Ice Rinks

On average, energy costs account for more than 30% of ice rink operating budgets. 

Rising energy costs put an enormous cost burden on your ice rink. Of that 30%, the majority of the energy cost burden is related to ice refrigeration. Beyond that, the breakdown is typically as follows:

  • Ice Refrigeration - 57%
  • Public Spaces
    -Lighting and Plugs - 14%
  • Ice Rink Lighting - 9%
  • Ventilation - 6%
  • Dehumidification - 6%
  • Other - Exterior Lighting,
    Resurfacer, etc. - 8%
