TICR has produce a series of benchmarking surveys, now available in trial mode specific to Retail, Cold Store, Datacentre, Transport and Food/Pharmaceutical Manufacturing.
The survey questions cover best practice and opportunities for improving refrigeration system energy management, as identified through research and actual site surveys carried out by the TICR researchers in 2024. The outputs provide a method for business owners, energy managers and in-house engineers to benchmark their business against the key recommendations of the project. You are encouraged to complete the survey as many times as you need either for your complete estate or for individual systems to help you to identify measures that can help improve your operations.
As well as providing a final score based on your answers to the questions in the survey the benchmarking tool provides a report identifying areas for improvement and links to sources of further information that you can use to help reduce energy, reduce emissions and work towards your net zero refrigeration targets.
Before you start this survey, you should consult a copy of your most recent F Gas logs, site or system energy use data, if available, and energy audit inspection reports. If you do not have access to this information, you can still compete the survey, but this will affect your results. You can complete this survey for a single site or for your total overall estate - whichever data is more readily available.
