 In 2017, AHCL undertook a plant-wide energy audit at the Okanagan Spring Brewery in Vernon, BC. The study was funded in part by BC Hydro’s PowerSmart Program. Deliverables for this project included; an energy-map detailing how electrical and thermal energy is used at the brewery; a list of energy conservation measures with associated benefits, risks & costs; feasibility studies for select energy conservation projects; and a recommended course of action. The study focused primarily on compressed air, process cooling, space cooling, steam & process heat, motors & drives and lighting.
