Greene King Distribution Centre
Brewer reduces carbon footprint by 72% with rapid ROI in just over two years
Case study
SaveMoneyCutCarbon surveyed, designed, and undertook an LED lighting retrofit project in the distribution centre.
As a result, the organisation is saving £15,000 a year (72.3%).
The carbon footprint was reduced by 72% because of the project, and the payback period was just over two years.
The Client
Greene King is the country’s leading pub retailer and brewer, with over 3,100 pubs, restaurants and hotels across England, Wales and Scotland.
The Brief
SaveMoneyCutCarbon was tasked with finding a solution for an LED lighting retrofit at the Greene King distribution centre in Abingdon, Oxfordshire that would deliver much improved lighting in all areas together with measurable energy savings and reduced maintenance costs.
The Solution
The large distribution centre had inefficient and ageing lighting across all areas (pictured below) and the constantly shifting volumes of product being stored meant that the quality and coverage of light needed to be at the highest standard.
The SaveMoneyCutCarbon Consultancy Sales team conducted an extensive technical survey and produced a detailed lighting design with comprehensive costings as part of an investment-ready proposal to provide the solid business case for LED upgrade.
With the detailed report, Greene King was confident of meeting its goals and commissioned the LED project.
This project was completed in December 2017.
