Energy savings in retail and restaurants
Shops and restaurants run refrigeration, air conditioning, lighting and kitchen equipment all day, and a chain repeats them across dozens of sites. One solution, rolled out to the same standard at every location, delivers a predictable saving written into the contract.
Energy challenges in the sector
Costs repeated at every site
Air conditioning, lighting and refrigeration drive high costs in every store, and in a chain the same problems repeat at many locations.
Kitchens and refrigeration in restaurants
Kitchen equipment, ventilation and refrigeration in quick-service restaurants use a lot of energy for most of the day.
Comparable results across the network
A chain needs a solution it can roll out the same way and settle at every site by the same method.

Frequently asked questions
Can the solution be rolled out across a whole store network?
Yes. We install ICO-F to one standard at each site, and measure the result at every one of them with the same IPMVP method.
How much does a quick-service restaurant save?
In a fast-food franchise network, the measured saving is 8–9% a month in each restaurant.
How is the saving calculated across a network?
Site by site, under IPMVP, with monitoring in Schneider Electric PME. That makes the results of different stores comparable.
