This document discusses how to save on utility costs through reducing wattage and lessening equipment duty cycles. It provides examples of converting to LED lighting, which can reduce energy use by 70-90%, and installing e-cubes and ECM motors to reduce refrigeration cycling. The company has worked with a large franchisee to implement these solutions across various areas, including lighting, water, refrigeration, and HVAC. Testing indicates the solutions have lowered total energy consumption by up to 40% with payback periods around one year.

1. Energy Savings and
Going Green

2. 
“Utilities are a fixed overhead and a necessary evil”
“Going Green is too expensive”
Traditional Beliefs
These myths are no longer true and
we have the proof

3. There are 2 ways to save on Utilities:
- Lower the wattage
- Lessen the time of use (Duty Cycle)
How to Save on Utilities
Wattage: if you are currently using 50 watt halogen lights and you
can get the same lumen output with a 5 watt LED using the lights
the same number of hours per day, you have reduced the energy
draw by 90%.
Duty Cycle: if the compressors in your walk-ins turn on every time
you open a door due the sudden change in air temperature and you
add the e-cube to allow the system to measure product temperature
the compressors only turn when the product temperature changes
the on/off cycles are reduced from 120 down to 30, so the actual on
time is reduced by 75%.

4. 
 Converted to LED lighting—refined with daylight harvesting and motion sensors
 Water reduction – low flow aerators, sprayers, and toilet tank devices
 Refrigeration – ECM motors, lubricant additive, and e-cubes
 Control Systems – Contactor boxes with controller for staggering equipment
starts
 HVAC – lubricant additive and internal control system proprietary technology
Currently testing:
 On demand hot water– Induction on-demand water heaters
 Induction Cooking/Heating Equipment—with franchisor permissions
 Infrared space heating
 And more
Our Approach
In coordination with the Development team at FMI (YUM! Franchisee
from Woodstock, NB, Canada with 200 Restaurants across North
America) we have lowered the wattage and lessened the duty cycle in
the following areas:

5. 
Typical Expected Results
Distribution of energy consumption
for Restaurants before all updates
Distribution of energy
consumption after all updates
Note: These percentages are based on mainly Eastern Canadian Restaurants so the
relationship percentages may vary across North America or other areas of the
world. However, the percentage of savings/reduction seem to be consistent as
more stores are evaluated.

6. 
 We have our own factories with total quality control of our
products and we ensure long lasting, high quality, certified
products at low price points.
 We work with our sister factories to maintain quality control of
all certified products.
 Our sub-contractors have been proven in the field and meet our
professional installation requirements.
 We continue to develop new products to meet the specific
needs of our customers.
 We have tested various means and methods with a large
franchisee and have determined; through trials; the best
products, methods, and pricing to make energy savings realistic
with extremely low payback periods.
What Makes us Different

7. 
Sample Audit
LED Lighting, Water Saving and Base Control System Only
Note: Lighting Savings includes maintenance savings

8. 
 By converting to appropriate certified, guaranteed, and
quality assured by our forces dimmable LED lighting
throughout we can reduce lighting consumption by 70%-90%
 A 200 watt T8 4 bulb fixture is replaced by a 2 foot LED panel
at 40 watts producing the same lumens = 75% savings
 A 100 watt incandescent bulb gets replaced by a 6watt LED
bulb producing the same lumens = 94% savings
 Using dimmable allows for “Daylight Harvesting” where
lights automatically dim according to incoming light levels
via windows and/or skylights = additional savings 12% -
20%
LED Lighting

9. 
 Installing appropriate faucet aerators on all hand
wash faucets reduces from an average of 8
litres/minute to 1.6 litres/minute
 Low flow high pressure pre-rinse sprayer also have
the same results while actually cleaning better
 Installing appropriate toilet tank devices in all tank
toilets reduce 3 litres per flush
 FMI’s Pizza Huts in Ontario alone has meant an
average of $3,000 per year per store in water savings
Water Savings

10. 
 We install appropriate certified ECM motors on the
evaporators = 20% - 50% savings on evaporator fans
 We install appropriate certified proprietary e-cubes
inside the walk-ins = reduces cycling by 50% - 70%
 We install a proprietary designed and engineered
additive to the compressor to reduce friction = 10% -
15% savings
Refrigeration

11. ECMs are DC motors that function using a built-in inverter and a
magnet rotor (ie. They do not have brushes that contact the
revolving components) and as a result are able to achieve greater
efficiency in air-flow systems
ECM Motors

12. 
 The Endocube absorbs temperature in the same manner
as the food stored in the walk-ins which provides actual
food temperature readings.
 This reduces compressor cycles by not allowing changes
in air temperature to start the compressor when not
required.
 Sudden rises in air temperature are often caused when the
door is opened but this typically does not change the food
temperature.
(Note: Previously this would have set off compressor
cycles which used the older inefficient air thermometer
gauges technology…and more cycles = more energy = more
money – the endocube changes this)
E-cube

13. 
 Special proprietor designed and engineered anti-friction
additives improve the compressor’s mechanical efficiency
to reduce power consumption
 In addition, the supplement contains additives that
improve coil heat transfer
 Improved thermal efficiency (heat duty) increases the
unit’s capacity, thus allowing it to run fewer hours per a
day for the same amount of cooling
 The reduced wear and tear that accompanies improved
system operations extends equipment life and reduces
overall maintenance costs
Additive

14. 
 Internal Control System proprietary technology
= 20% savings
Short cycling to create off times and lessen duty cycle while
maintaining same temperatures
 Additive = 12% savings
Less friction, Less heat build-up, Cleaner Coils, Less maintenance,
and More efficient
HVAC

15. 
 Custom Certified proprietary designed and engineered
Contactor Box = staggered starts on heavy equipment to
lower Demand Charges using a controller.
 Allows for cycling of HVAC roof top units and make up
air to lower duty cycles.
 Allows for Daylight Harvesting.
 Allows for Night Time or Contrast Harvesting of outdoor
lighting and/or signage.
 Can incorporate GPS based timers for outdoor lighting
 Additional functions are being developed and tested.
Control Systems

16.  We are currently testing three metering companies to find the most
productive, reliable and economical. Initial numbers show a 15% - 25%
savings on energy use just by monitoring use and controlling HVAC
 Metering allows you to see real time power consumption of electrically
powered equipment
 Changes in typical parameters send a red flag up on the equipment as this
shows they are starting to have issues
 This allows for low cost preventative maintenance instead of costly repairs
by being made aware of the energy usage change when it first transpires
 It also allows data collection for true comparisons of energy savings
 The metering company offers employee habit adjustment for additional
energy savings.
 Real time data can be used for precise triggering of automation savings
 Can detect if staff improperly turning equipment “on” or “off” during the
day, abusing use of equipment, or forgetting to turn items “off” at end of
day
Metering

17. 
 We are looking at magnetic induction heating for a variety of
commercial equipment from chicken cookers, open fryers,
gravy urns, holding bins and displays to proofers, pizza ovens,
etc…
 Magnetic induction can also be used in “on demand” water
heaters, space heating and more.
 We have started looking at energy storage to allow overnight
charging at lower cost electricity and then use during peak
hours.
 We are also looking at the newest and most efficient solar PV
and micro wind for energy production.
 Even the possibility of electric vehicle charging in the parking
lots as part of the energy storage systems currently being
calculated.
Upcoming

18. 
 As new energy saving products become available we will
test them for real life results and ensure they meet
Canadian and USA certifications.
 We will continue to offer our customers the best quality
and innovative products available to reduce power
consumption and reduce overhead operating costs.
