LA fitness trims carbon emissions

Health club chain gets carbon compliant

LA fitness is to keep a tight rein on its carbon emissions using CloudApps Carbon Summer ’10 solution.

The implementation will enable LA fitness to proactively monitor carbon emissions across its 80 clubs in the UK and Ireland and help it comply with UK regulations.

CloudApps Carbon is a cloud-based emission management solution that is offered on a subscription basis and built on the Force.com platform, from Salesforce.com.

The Carbon Summer ’10 solution now supports the UK Carbon Reduction Commitment scheme, a process that affects up to 30,000 companies and started on 1 April 2010.

“Following discussions with CloudApps we feel it’s totally feasible for LA fitness to cut its energy use by between 10 per cent and 15 per cent over the next three to five years,” said Ross Chester, chief financial officer at LA fitness.
