This report summarizes energy and water savings from upgrades at KFC stores in Canada and the US. It finds that installing LED lighting, control systems, water saving devices and refrigeration updates resulted in average electricity reductions of 32% and demand reductions of 29%. Water use also decreased 45% on average after installing low-flow fixtures. The investments in these upgrades pay for themselves in just over one year based on the average estimated annual savings of $17,960 per store. Implementing these measures across 200 stores could save an estimated $3.6 million total per year.

2. Electrical Reductions
Daily Consumption Demand Charges
Edmunston– KFC 27% reduction 25% reduction
Dieppe-- KFC 32% reduction 27% reduction
Note: These numbers were prior to Refrigeration Updates
In each case we installed water saving devices such as low flow
aerators, Low flow pre-rinse sprayers, and toilet water reducers; we
changed to dimmable LED lighting and contactor boxes with a control
system to control the chicken fryers and to automatically dim
lighting. The results are immediate in reducing energy consumption
and our payback is just over 1 year.
