Grocery

New Edison Energy employs grocery-specific solutions for the most significant energy waste opportunities present in the grocery and food service industry.

Night curtains allow stores to close their open refrigerated cases overnight and on holidays capturing hundreds of dollars of waste per case per year.

Inexpensive, high-efficiency EC motors are retrofitted into the older cases present in most US grocery stores. These variable speed motors provide the better air circulation within reach-in cases and walk-in refrigerators and freezers and use as much as 50% less electricity.

Anti-sweat heater controls, activated by the store’s inside relative humidity, are added to closed refrigerated cases an reduce waste associated with the door heaters. Most cases have heaters that are powered 24x7x365 regardless of whether they are needed or not.

Lighting in most open or closed refrigerated cases use fluorescent lamps, which are a poor light source for cold conditions and lose their brightness very early in their useful lives. LED lamps specifically designed for refrigerated cases use less energy, last 2-3X longer and thrive in cold conditions. The finest grocery stores save money with LED case lighting and more effectively highlight the product displayed in those cases.
