St Francis Winery Energy Project
St. Francis Winery, Santa Rosa, CA and Energy Industries have completed a series of 9 energy efficiency measures, including Variable Frequency Drives, Lighting, Compressed Air Upgrades, Boiler and AHU humidity controls.
This project will reduced St. Francis's energy cost by 190,000 kWh and 3,000 therms and over 10% of the project cost will be funded through Utility Rebates.
The energy reductions will provide a 28% Return on Investment and have a 3.6 year simple payback.
In 2011 EI completed numerous lighting retrofits of Savers/Value Village stores in the US and Canada. These projects targeted the removal of obsolete T12 lamps, improving light levels, and reducing energy consumption by over 20%. These projects also included adjusting circuiting to meet corporate standards as well as implementing Energy Management Controls for better efficiency.
Duane Ashimine, Diane Manzini (Tucson), Kate Donovan (Seattle) and Rex Minchey (San Leandro) were at the event to accept our awards (see photo).
