The analysis of the application of two energy-efficient technologies for air heating of ice arenas is considered, such as the use of heat pumps and a system for partial utilization of heat of condensation of heat engines. The actual energy costs during the operation of two systems are studied, such as the consumption of heat and electricity from heat and power supply organizations, as well as the costs of modernization. The weaknesses and positive aspects of the studied systems for air heating of ice arenas are revealed. Comparison of the calculated data obtained as a result of calculations with the actual data obtained in the research institution in which the study is carried out. An example of actual effective modernization of existing engineering systems is shown, as a result of which the energy efficiency of existing systems is increased. Additionally, we have performed the calculation of reducing thermal pollution with introduction of the investigated systems.
