A Deeper Understanding of Energy

Some products need to stay frozen, others warm; that’s why heating, cooling and refrigeration are at the very core of your business needs.

SMART SOLUTIONS FOR BUSINESS-CRITICAL ENERGY

The Erda Energy team have pioneered geo-exchange solutions for HVAC/R in the food retail sector since 2010. By its nature, food retail has high-use intensity heating, cooling and refrigeration demands and we know how critical smart energy-saving solutions are in an industry of tight margins.

Erda’s approach to integrating the refrigeration, heating and cooling functions in food retail has been a game-changer. Refrigeration systems can consume over 40% of your store’s energy needs, and all that energy is converted to waste heating energy, which you pay to throw away. Erda technologies can use this energy in real time to meet the demands of other systems, or store it in the earth for use when you really need it.

HOW IT WORKS

Supermarkets have continuous and overlapping energy demands from refrigeration and heating. Erda systems are designed to understand how these demands interact and how energy can be used more effectively across the site.

Energy is continuously monitored and analysed to identify where it is being used, where it is wasted and where it can be recovered. By linking heating and cooling systems, excess energy from one process can be reused elsewhere, reducing overall demand.

Over time, this deeper understanding allows the system to adapt and improve performance, optimising energy use, reducing costs and increasing overall efficiency across the site.

Balanced energy for complex systems

Retail installations typically have multiple heating and cooling needs that require more energy than a typical building. In addition, there are extreme temperature needs often right next to each other – You need energy to keep the peas in your freezers frozen, and the beans on your shelves warm. This need for energy is rarely balanced – Erda | cool finds that balance for you.

You have to keep the frozen food frozen over night, but your supermarket is closed so you don’t want to heat it. Normally all the energy required to keep goods frozen is thrown away as it’s not needed. Erda technologies allow you to store what energy you don’t need overnight to use when you do need it in the morning and throughout the next day, week or even year.
