Meijer, Inc. - Lansing, Michigan
Challenge: Meijer has a refrigerated warehouse that is on the same utility meter as one of their dry warehouses. Spikes in energy use were occurring at anytime throughout the day while the refrigeration system was operating. This resulted in high demand charges during the On Peak time of the day and excessive kWh usage throughout the day. Also, with 21 individual penthouse units, each with electric defrost, Meijer found these units running independently of each other thus contributing to the high demand charges.
