Client requirements
An unexplained jump in the energy bill
Representing domestic and foreign brands for the likes of Nestlé, McCain, Radatz and more, MCI noticed an influx in their energy bill and sought to identify the changes behind their profit and loss calculations. They concluded the problem to be the electricity used in the seven cold rooms, an area of high demand renowned for heavy consumption.
MCI needed an effective solution that could offer real-time, asset-level data to identify waste, and Best.Energy gave them just that.
Our solution
Two faulty rooms, and a freezer eight degrees too cold
The team analysed the cold storage rooms using the Eniscope and revealed that one cold room hardly functioned and another was totally defective. The problem? The temperature was too cold.
After consulting with the client and brand managers to define their needs, Best.Energy installed the Air Digital to remotely schedule, monitor and control multiple assets from a single unit, bringing the set-point from -26°C up to the optimal -18°C.
The results
A convincing first site, then a roll-out
20% off the cold rooms, 10%+ overall. Cold room consumption fell by 20%, and overall site energy use by more than 10%, cutting the monthly bill by 20%.
Payback within a year. The first site returned its investment inside 12 months, making the case for a roll-out across the remainder of MCI's facilities.
