    Improving Energy Efficiency In Your Pub

    There’s nothing better than an ice-cold pint in a nice warm pub after a hard day’s work. This is why creating a lovely, cosy atmosphere inside your pub is so crucial. But keeping your customers warm can be expensive. Our friends at the Carbon Trust have a number of simple ideas to help you keep the cost of your pub’s utilities down.

    3 energy saving tips for pubs

    1. Heating

    Ideally, you should have different thermostats for different areas of the pub. This helps you to manage heating in zones. However, you should keep these thermostats away from cold or hot areas such as back doors and kitchens.

    20°C to 22°C is the ideal temperature for your pub. As soon as your thermostat goes above 22°C, you could be losing money. And remember, you won’t need as much heating if your pub is packed with customers.

    2. Lighting

    Around a quarter of your pub’s energy costs can be attributed to lighting. Of course, effective lighting is necessary for your pub’s ambiance. It’s also important for the safety of your staff and customers. By installing LED lighting and/or automatic lighting controls, you can trim your electricity bills down to size.

    3. The cellar

    How well insulated is your cellar? Doors and hatches should be insulated as much as possible to save energy. Your staff should always ensure they are closed immediately after use.  Similarly, heating pipes and fittings should also be insulated.

    pints in pub energy

    Around 10% of energy used in the pub will be for keeping beverages cold. Roughly half of this is for cellar cooling. Simply changing the layout could save you money. Keep heat producing equipment such as line coolers and ice makers outside of the cellar, provided they are kept in a well-ventilated space.

    The recommended cellar temperature is around 11°C-13°C. It should be regularly checked. This is because overcooling by as little as 1°C can raise cellar energy costs by up to 10%.

      What Affects The Cost Of Pub Utilities?

      When it comes to pub operating costs, the highest is usually staff wages. However, the next major outlay for most British pubs is utilities. The cost of gas, energy and water can vary between different types of pub. Other factors include location, the size of the pub, its age and general state of repair. If your pub has live music or other entertainment, you could also end up paying more for energy.
