Kroger turns to IBM and Neuwing for their expertise in documenting and validating energy savings

Jul 01, 2009

World wide clients have embraced energy efficient design from  IBM and Neuwing Energy has helped them measure real energy efficiency savings.  The Kroger Co. wanted to determine the amount of electricity saved as a result of the move and consolidation. IBM played a major role in the design and placement of computer equipment within the new data center in order to maximize cooling and minimize power consumption. Kroger turned to IBM and Neuwing Energy Ventures for their expertise in documenting and validating energy savings derived through this relocation. All three entities worked together to measure and verify energy savings by adhering to regulatory and voluntary standards for Energy Efficiency Certificates (EECs). Kroger expects Neuwing to issue Energy Efficiency Certificates this summer that confirm the substantial energy savings Kroger achieved through this project. Each Energy Efficiency Certificate earned is a unique and traceable commodity that verifies the specific amount of megawatt hours saved.
