managing energy costs

Energy Toolkit Series

• For Supermarkets
• For Restaurants
• For Clubs
• For Banks
• For Manufacturing

Kilojolts’ energy management consultants have spent close to 30 years managing energy costs for their clients and helping them reduce their energy spend by modifying management policies and employee behaviors. We’ve logged thousands of hours in restaurant kitchens, supermarket prep rooms, bank offices, and factory floors fine-tuning our energy management services and our energy waste reduction programs.

We’ve learned what works—and what’s a waste of time—to generate savings of between 7 and 12% year-over-year.

And now we’ve packed up that market-specific expertise and created See The Light, Kilojolts’ Energy Tool Kit Series. Based on proven best practices, this is filled with everything an operator needs to implement a simple, sustainable energy waste reduction program.

ENERGY TOOLKIT COMPONENTS

Each See The Light Energy Toolkit includes:

• Energy Handbook: A step-by-step handbook for implementing the program’s simple energy saving Tips. Written for the lay manager (not energy experts), the handbook illustrates each Tip with charts, graphs, and photos relevant to each market sector.
• Energy Tips: Our energy efficiency Tips target the most common opportunities to curb energy waste, field-tested by Kilojolts’ clients.
• See The Light Benchmarking Software: An easy-to-use benchmarking tool to capture your current energy usage, track energy use reductions, and reward success. (Single site license included with $850 Toolkit Fee. Additional licenses extra)
• Employee Communication Materials: Kilojolts’ proprietary See The Light program materials are either customized with each company’s logo and branding or purchased off-the-shelf. Employee materials include:
• Posters for each energy-saving Tip
• Stickers – color coded to identify proper lights/equipment operating parameters
• Manager’s Energy Guides-The “teacher’s guide” to help managers implement each Tip
• Suggested employee memos—to help you roll out your program

MARKET-SPECIFIC ENERGY TOOLKITS

Supermarket Manager's Energy Toolkit
With razor-thin margins and exploding competition, supermarkets need creative ways to rein in energy expense—always in the top five of a food retailer’s budget. But few store-level operations managers have the experience, time, or internal expertise to put an end to energy “shrink.” With the Supermarket Manager's Energy Toolkit, operators can take advantage of a turnkey energy management program created by supermarket industry veterans. The Kilojolts program attacks every area of a store, from the refrigerated cases to the walk-in coolers and loading dock to help you curtail Energy Shrink. Learn More

Success Story

Unilever Cuts Energy Waste, Saves $2M in 6 months with Kilojolts

THE CLIENT

Unilever is one of the world’s largest consumer products companies with a portfolio of brands that includes Dove, Q-Tips, Slim-Fast, Lipton, and Breyers. Unilever in the United States employs more than 15,000 people in 74 office and manufacturing sites in 24 states and Puerto Rico – generating approximately $10 billion in sales in 2004.

SITUATION

Unilever North America had made great headway in controlling its multi-million dollar annual utility spend, from buying natural gas and electricity from low-cost providers to making energy-smart capital equipment improvements. But the company knew it was still leaving “money on the table” by not controlling energy waste on the plant floor.
