6. Good Environmental Management Practices from Germany-Bakery
Piepers bakery saves 20% energy
What has been achieved:
BASIS FOR EFFICIENCY: Energy controlling Control of energy consumption and the fine-tuning of equipment
SAVE WITH THERMO OIL HEATING: Use of thermal oil technology for efficient ovens
HEAT NOT GIVE AWAY: Heat recovery in baking for processes in the bakery and for heating of rooms
USE OF POTENTIALS: The water heating also benefits from the heat recovery from cold
COOLING WITH SYSTEM: Efficient cooling - saves power
ENERGY EFFICIENCY to live: Employee training create understanding and acceptance
OTHER smaller actions: LED lighting technology, Peak-load switch down , Motion detector for lighting, Waste management

Saving energy in a butcher shop in Bremerhaven
"The advice from energy consultants were worth one´s weight in gold!" Around 1,000 euros in energy costs per year
Quite simply:
Set device correctly and save energy
Water preheating: Saving energy with heat recovery
Robust and energy efficient: saving electricity with LED lighting
Optimized cooling increases energy efficiency of a butcher
That was the reason
40% of total electricity consumption for cooling
Sustainable and resource efficient businesses
That was done
Energy-efficient refrigeration systems
That was the results
Investment: Euro
Reduction energy consumption by 57 %
Reduction of operating costs at least 65%
CO2 savings about 25 tones/year
Amortization: 5-6 years
