CLP Brings Energy Saving Solutions to China
Convenience Retail Southern China Ltd (CRSC) is responsible for the development of the Circle K network in the Southern part of China. It collaborates with CLP to further reduce energy consumption while diligently striving to promote such solutions.
CLP conducted an energy audit reviewing convenience stores, offices and distribution centre for CRSC in Guangzhou. It helped CRSC to facilitate the communication between front-line staff and top management, exploring more energy saving solutions and providing recommendations that comprised the most important and valuable parts of the audit.
Accordingly, CRSC adopted such recommendations including changing to LED lighting in the distribution centre. With a gradual change, the centre saved 7% on its energy consumption.

On the other hand, CRSC adopted the recommendation to implement a pilot scheme in one of its Circle K stores. The pilot scheme applied two energy efficient applications. One of those is that the store installed a centralised refrigeration system with invertor, such variable frequency technology helps adjust optimal power consumption according to the operational needs of different refrigeration systems.
The store also adopted a hybrid intelligent air conditioning system. It integrates the function of traditional air conditioning with an evaporative air handling unit. In a lower temperature condition, the evaporative air handling unit can further cool down the fresh air and maintain comfortable room temperature. Such operation can minimise the energy consumption of air conditioning system.
With the application of above two energy saving initatives, the pilot store saved 17 % on its energy consumption and reduced operational costs. This prompted the group to further advocate this initiative to other branches and their industry peers, together working for a green business.
