SAN FRANCISCO — Whole Foods Market is partnering with EnergySmart Jobs and PECI on high-efficiency refrigeration retrofits. EnergySmart Jobs works with supermarkets and other commercial retail businesses throughout California to lower their operating costs by reducing the amount of energy they use.
“Whole Foods Market has been fortunate to work with PECI for several years in our Northern California region, and significant energy efficiency improvements have been made, resulting in substantial cost savings as well,” said Kathy Loftus, global leader of sustainable engineering at Whole Foods. “When the opportunity to participate in the EnergySmart Jobs program came up, we enthusiastically agreed, as it not only helps grow the local economy, but also helps us prove the benefits of these improvements across our company and the industry.”
Whole Foods and Energy Jobs are partnering in two Northern California stores to quantify the actual amount of energy that each individual store is saving. The two stores are part of six Whole Foods stores participating in the EnergySmart Jobs Program and each of them will be installing new energy management systems (EMS), programmed to float head and suction pressure to improve the refrigeration system efficiency. Rebates from EnergySmart Jobs cover a portion of the upfront investment costs. Together with applicable utility incentives, these rebates make it easy and affordable for grocers like Whole Foods to adopt new energy-efficient technologies.
Data loggers installed at several of these Whole Foods locations will monitor the amount of energy used by the refrigeration system condenser and compressor fans, offering a clear before-and-after picture. The information collected from this study will enable PECI and EnergySmart Jobs to provide more accurate and detailed energy-use estimates for future projects.

Kudos to Whole Foods and PECI
Kudos to Whole Foods and PECI for advancing the state of the art for grocers.
As this project shows, gathering high-resolution data for before and after assessments for groceries and restaurants is critical to identify the appropriate remediation for each individual store, and validate the desired results afterwards. However, the binding constraint on remediation is always the available capital that can be invested at once, so typically only greenfield projects achieve full efficiency potential.
For the majority, efficiency is an incremental process, with yearly improvement projects. The best way to optimize this ongoing activity is to collect high-resolution data year-in year-out, not just in the context of a one-time audit.
The technology is becoming available to cheaply collect and analyze data from refrigeration controllers and in-store sensors all the time, while also using the data to automatically diagnose the health and condition of all energy-intensive equipment throughout the store in real time. Imagine a system that does this centrally for all your stores, compares performance across stores, catches hiccups before they turn into crises, and produces weekly, quarterly, and annual reports with recommendations and analytics?
