Case Studies

Energy Consumption

Problem

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.
