Guiding Supermarkets Toward Smarter, Greener Operations

NorthStar Energy Management helps supermarkets run cleaner, leaner, and more profitable. By optimizing refrigeration and store-wide systems, we reduce energy waste, extend equipment life, and protect product quality — cutting costs on utilities, shrink, and service calls. A more efficient store isn’t just better for the planet — it’s better for your bottom line.

Where the Energy Goes in a Typical Supermarket

In most supermarkets, refrigeration is the single largest consumer of energy — often 40–55% of the store’s total electricity use. HVAC systems account for another 20–25%, while lighting typically makes up 15–20%.

That means nearly three-quarters of a store’s energy goes toward keeping food cold, comfortable, and visible — exactly where the biggest opportunities for improvement exist.
By optimizing these systems through smarter controls, improved sequencing, and upgraded equipment, NorthStar helps reduce waste, lower costs, and make every kilowatt count.
