Success Story

Kilojolts Consulting Group Helps Papa Gino's and D'Angelo's Reduce Energy Costs by 15%

THE CLIENT
Papa Gino's has 166 restaurants and D'Angelo Sandwich Shops has 150 shops located throughout New England. Each is a highly recognizable brand with a reputation for quick, convenient, high-quality, and value-priced meals.

SITUATION
Papa Gino's/D'Angelo's' (Papa Gino's) was eager to take full advantage of the benefits available to its stores with the advent of gas and electricity deregulation. However, the Company lacked the internal capabilities to navigate the new deregulated marketplace. Papa Gino's decided to retain the services of an energy consultant who could act as the company's advocate and identify immediate opportunities for savings.

Papa Gino's turned to Kilojolts Consulting Group to act as its Virtual Energy Manager and assume responsibility for the company's energy conservation and cost reduction initiatives.

energy awareness programs

In most businesses, energy expense ranks among the top five expenditures. A significant portion of the energy cost center can be attributed to waste, where much of this expense literally flies out the door. Employees don’t intentionally waste energy, but most are unaware of the impact their day-to-day actions have on the organization's bottom line.

Companies can significantly shrink energy waste by implementing an energy awareness program that instills in their employees a culture of energy thrift and environmental awareness. The key to incorporating energy conservation into employees' work habits is to weave it into the corporate culture through ongoing communication and training.

Kilojolts has designed and implemented energy awareness programs for clients in a variety of market segments, from banks and restaurants to major manufacturers, supermarket chains, and warehousing companies. Each energy awareness program is tailored to suit the client's culture, policies, and objectives.

Services may include:

  • Culture assessment
  • Baselining and benchmarking
  • Print and Web-based communication strategies
  • In-person training
  • Energy Handbooks (see Products for in-depth overview)
  • Employee incentives, contests, and rewards
  • In-person audits
