managing energy costs

Energy Toolkit Series

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.

MARKET-SPECIFIC ENERGY TOOLKITS

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to promoting energy-aware behaviors in the workplace. Restaurants are not banks. Factories are not schools. And supermarkets are not fitness clubs. So we've developed market-specific See The Light Energy Toolkits that address each sector's industry profile, employee structure, and characteristic operating model.

Success Story

Kilojolts Consulting Group Helps Unilever North America Reduce Energy Spend by $5 Million in Two Years of Power to Conserve Program

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.
