Overview:

A hotel was operating three outdated and inefficient walk-in fridges, leading to excessive energy consumption and high running costs. The decision was made to replace them with a single, modern, high-efficiency walk-in fridge.

Action Taken:

• Decommissioned three old, inefficient fridges.

• Installed a new energy-efficient walk-in fridge with improved insulation and modern cooling technology.

• Secured a 50% funding grant from the local council’s carbon reduction program to support project costs.

Results:

• 65% reduction in energy consumption compared to previous fridge operation.

• Annual savings of £5,000–£6,000 on electricity costs.

• Improved food storage efficiency, temperature control, and reliability.

• Significant reduction in the hotel’s carbon footprint.
