7. Mike Benney and Son Butchers
This business has a large amount of necessary refrigeration and frozen units.
We visited the site when the business was closed so that we could switch things off and on and record the figures from the OWL energy monitor they received as part of their business support.
We helped identify ways to reduce the energy consumption by moving produce into the main walk in fridge at the back overnight, so that the chilled units in the shop could be switched off when the shop is closed.
This behaviour change has saved the business over £200 per month.
