€4,700 a year in identified saving opportunities across a three site patisserie and cookery school, much of it at no cost. Found through a single on site SEAI audit.
Cakeface Patisserie, Kilkenny
A family run, award winning patisserie and cookery school across three premises. One onsite SEAI audit, covering every electricity and gas supply and 30+ items of kitchen equipment.
Three electricity accounts on standard tariffs not the right wholesale contract. Switching them: around €1,140 a year at no cost.
Refrigeration overdue a service and working too hard. Catering and display units the largest electrical load on site.
Hot water and refrigeration set points needing adjustment for efficiency.
The Blodgett gas oven carrying most of the LPG load, with a redundant older unit adding avoidable standing cost.
No monthly monitoring, so waste went unseen between quarterly bills.
Cookery school equipment left running outside teaching hours.
€4,700 a year in energy saving opportunities across nine practical measures, much of it at no capital cost, alongside a 35% cut in carbon. Every figure was built from actual bills, the equipment in use, and from the onsite energy audit.
"Bryan and Energy Approach showed us exactly where our money was going and gave us clear steps to cut it. Practical, straight forward and well worth it."
