Energy Efficiency Success Story
Southbrook Winery completed a conventional energy conservation study of their LEED gold-certified facility, supported by Niagara-on-the-Lake Hydro (NOTLH). The results of that study suggested that Southbrook might be able to achieve an additional 5% savings with a 20-year payback.
Not satisfied with that assessment, Southbrook Winery reached out to Enviro-Stewards for a second opinion. Enviro-Stewards’ subsequent audit discovered that Southbrook could reduce both electricity and natural gas consumption by 40% with a combined payback of four months.
By conserving this energy, Southbrook’s subsequent net zero solar system required one-third fewer solar panels to provide Southbrook’s remaining energy needs. This avoided covering vineyard land with solar panels, which saved approximately 50 cases of wine per year valued at $20,000.
NOTLH assisted in the successful implementation of the proposed plan, which also helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 tonnes per year. The project also won a National Sustainability Award.
“What Southbrook proved is that addressing conservation first had a substantial economic advantage over proceeding directly to installing renewables,” says Enviro-Stewards founder, Bruce Taylor. “It’s normally hard to show not doing something. In this case, you can literally come to Southbrook and drink the wine that was preserved by conserving energy.”
Enviro-Stewards is dedicated to the development of innovative solutions to achieve long-term resource and financial sustainability for businesses.
