ENERGY STAR Focus on Supermarket and Restaurant Industry

Whether you operate a supermarket, convenience store, or restaurant, you know that HVAC and refrigeration uses a lot of energy and that translates into high energy bills. That's why it's important to maintain your HVAC and refrigeration systems and to learn about the multitude of energy efficiency options available to you in today's more energy efficient market.

Energy efficiency can be applied to all types of HVAC and refrigeration equipment such as reach-in, walk-in, and under the counter refrigerators/freezers, as well as a multitude of food and drink storage and display cases

Results are already adding up. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy to power 20 million homes and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 18 million cars - all while saving $8 billion.

Compare U.S. National Averages

To measure and compare your actual energy use with that of similar grocery stores nationwide, you can use the ENERGY STAR benchmarking tool which rates your store on a scale of 1-100. Whether you are responsible for one store or 100, periodic energy benchmarking is a critical step in energy management.

No-cost Tips

To help you save money and energy on your refrigeration needs, here are some no-cost refrigeration tips:

• Keep doors shut - Repeated fluctuations in temperature will damage food quality and will cost money.
• Check temperature settings - If settings are lower than necessary, chances are you are wasting energy. The most common recommended settings are between -14 degrees and -8 degrees Fahrenheit for freezers and between 35 degrees and 38 degrees Fahrenheit for refrigerators.
• Clean cooling coils - Dirt accumulation impairs proper heat transfer and lowers the efficiency and capacity of refrigerators.
• Check door seals - Tight seals and properly closing doors prevent warm air from entering the unit, which reduces cooling energy and prevents frost buildup. Use this rule of thumb: If you can easily slide a dollar bill into the seal, have the seal adjusted.
• Maintain equipment - Perform any scheduled maintenance on the units and keep evaporator coils clean and free of ice build-up.
