Emerson helps Tesco boost energy efficiency at supermarkets in
the UK
 
When Tesco PLC wanted to ensure food quality and reduce energy costs, the largest food retailer in the United Kingdom passed up two local providers of energy-related services. Instead, the company selected Emerson Climate Technologies because it offered the only comprehensive solution along with a proven record of delivering energy savings and protection for major supermarket chains. Emerson divisions are collaborating to install Internet-based energy and equipment monitoring technology at more than 500 Tesco supermarkets. Nearly all of these stores will complete Emersons E-Commissioning process that includes an audit and tune-up of all mechanical systems for potential energy savings. Emerson can help a typical supermarket reduce energy usage by nearly 10 percent, and currently monitors over 3,000 sites worldwide.
Higher U.S. efficiency standards in 2006 favor the expanded use of Emersons Copeland Scroll compressors as the technology of choice for home air-conditioning systems. Businesses also need the efficiency and comfort Emerson provides. Lennoxs decision in 2002 to exclusively use Copeland Scroll compressor technology throughout its commercial line points to continued growth opportunities for commercial applications. The Asian market, particularly China, also offers significant growth opportunities for Emersons climate control products. Energy management and site monitoring services are growing businesses for Emerson. With more than 4,000 store locations purchasing energy management services, Emerson has become the leading provider of remote monitoring services for the supermarket industry helping our customers better manage energy costs and safeguard food quality.
