Siemens’ Site Controls Offers Energy Efficiency Consumption Solution for ALDI
Cloud technology will give ALDI visibility and control across nearly 1,500 stores
AUSTIN, Texas — ALDI has successfully deployed Siemens’ Site Controls Energy Management System (EMS) at nearly 1,500 of its retail locations. The majority of the EMS installations were retrofits at existing stores where thermostats or third-party energy management systems were replaced, but Siemens also installed its Site Controls EMS in newly constructed stores as well. This energy management program will leverage advanced cloud-based technology to build upon the grocer’s previous initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, such as the installation of solar panels, at dozens of retail stores and four distribution centers.
The Site Controls EMS reduces energy usage at stores by monitoring and/or controlling key energy-consuming devices such as HVAC units, indoor lighting, store signage, indoor and outdoor temperature sensors, and refrigeration units. The EMS also monitors energy output and performance of on-site solar panels.
