CUES - Case Study

A burger giant (one of the world’s largest hamburger franchises) with over 6000 outlets, are keeping up with the times by cutting energy costs, vital in these difficult financial times, and reducing their carbon footprint in the process.

The fast-food chains has been running a trial of CUES (Chilled Unit Energy Saver) on a refrigeration unit in one of their outlets and have made substantial savings on their energy costs.

Before CUES was installed the projected annual energy cost of the refrigerator stood at $2,082.56 but after the install the projected annual spend dropped to $1,438.13!

A SAVING OF $644.43 PER ANNUM.

All these savings are based purely on energy cost saving using CUES; you can also factor in the savings due to a significant reduction in mechanical wear and tear and subsequent breakdown.

CUES typically doubles the lifespan of a refrigeration compressor, which could represent a further saving of $54 per annum.

This food outlet is making efforts to be efficient, both financially and environmentally, and CUES is helping them to make considerable progress in both areas.
