To understand energy consumption in a retail setting across 24 hour periods, split energy waste during closure, unexplained peak demands and energy consumption compared to retail activity.
Solution
To monitor in real-time energy consumption through the distribution panel, 3 focused sections;
Section 1
Energy waste consumption during closure
Is all cooking equipment switched of
Is all ancillary equipment switched off (lights, computers, tills, monitors, staff room)
Are the Franke Island units switched off
Are there critical items required in closure time, this will
provide base load level
Section 2
Unexplained peak demands
Identify why equipment is switched on, if not required for current transactions
Section 3
3 Transactional energy waste
The energy consumption of the process equipment,
pressure fryers etc, should mirror the transactional demands.
Energy use trend over 7 days
Energy consumption over 24 hours, plus highlighting areas of concern that require further investigation.
Benefits
Reduction in energy consumption - Return on investment less than 1 year
