Multi-Site Pub Energy Management
Implementing a successful energy-saving strategy in a single pub is challenging enough. Attempting to enforce that same strategy across a portfolio of ten, fifty, or hundreds of venues is a logistical nightmare for estate managers. When energy policies rely on local, site-by-site management, they almost always fail. To achieve genuine, estate-wide energy reduction, pub groups […]
The True Cost of Overcooling
Walk into almost any pub cellar in the UK, and you will likely find the thermostat cranked down far lower than it needs to be. Driven by the misconception that “colder is always better,” many hospitality venues are bleeding profits through unnecessary electricity consumption. Refrigeration is one of the largest energy costs in the hospitality […]
Upgraded Glycol vs. Intelligent Control
When looking to reduce pub cellar energy bills, many operators are advised to flush their remote coolers and replace standard water or glycol with “advanced” or “sub-zero” chemical coolants. The sales pitch is compelling: these specialised fluids have lower viscosity and better thermal properties, which theoretically allows the compressor to transfer heat more efficiently. But […]
Why Intelligent Flow Control is Replacing Basic Remote Cooler Timers in Pub Cellars
For years, pub operators and facility managers have relied on simple timer switches to reduce the massive energy consumption of remote coolers and python systems. The logic was straightforward: if the pub is closed, turn the cooling off. However, as cellar technology advances, the industry is rapidly discovering that basic timers are no longer enough. […]
