Case Studies

Bank of Ireland

In 2009 BoI sought a number of strategic step change initiatives to manage costs within the Group. Building energy and water management solutions for the 315 branch network became one of those step-changes. Research within the Group Facilities team identified several areas with significant potential, including 8-10% energy savings that might be available by simply identifying & rigorously managing branch out-of-hours electricity use.

Fitzgerald Woodlands House Hotel

Prior to the installation of ResourceKraft’s Advisor Energy Cost Control system The Woodlands could only establish their overall usage once a month when their utility bills arrived. They can now see clearly where and when the energy is being used.

Ireland & UK Meat Processing Group

This meat processing group comprises 4 distinct and separate meat processing facilities to accommodate slaughtering, deboning and rendering with a capacity of 200,000 cattle per year. The annual energy spend across the group is in excess of €6M.

The major savings were in the reduction of the electricity utility bills, which as of early 2008 were set to reduce by 30%. Another major impact was that the increased understanding of where and when electricity was being used meant that the utilisation of the substations could be more closely monitored.

Ingersoll rand

Thermo King’s decision to use ResourceKraft technology has enabled us to measure our top energy consumers and loads. These measurements allow us to target our reduction efforts to where they will give the greatest benefit and we have managed to reduce our overall energy consumption by 49% for the first quarter of the year…

Supervalu

Significant areas for savings were quickly identified and acted upon. In their first month-on-month comparison, Twohigs was found to have reduced its energy costs by 19% and its energy-related carbon emissions by 15%. To achieve this, the following changes were made (amongst others):
