Lime will deliver energy use monitoring and maintain 24-hour telephone support for diagnostics and troubleshooting for the installations which will contribute to a collective savings of about $5.6m in utility costs for AMF.
The web-based automation system includes an electric meter at each location that provides real-time energy consumption data for troubleshooting and trend analysis.
The company said the system also monitors refrigerators and walk-in coolers and sends alarms to avoid costly food spoilage if temperatures in the refrigerators veer outside of pre-set limits.
Lime Energy also said the automated systems installed by the company will enable AMF to focus on real-time consumption and time-based decisions about electricity use.
Lime Energy Sales senior vice president Burke Ewers said the ability to remotely control lighting, HVAC and refrigeration systems is a smart way to save energy and operating costs.
