Supermarket Chain - Energy Audit

The aim of this exercise was to identify the potential for savings for a large supermarket operator in Ireland in order to concentrate subsequent investigations on those stores which provided the greatest opportunities.

As the first stage of a full energy review, a comprehensive exercise to benchmark energy usage at 75 supermarket stores throughout Ireland was carried out. Initially a wide range of energy usage and cost data was gathered from the company and their utility suppliers covering electricity, gas, LPG, and oil as well as information on individual store areas and opening hours.
