Challenge

The Girard family is aware of the role it can play in the global ecological transition. This family business is therefore constantly seeking to reduce the GHG emissions of its sites in order to optimize their energy consumption.

To achieve this ambition, the IGA Extra Famille Girard called on the expertise of TST to take charge of the analysis, the management of the implementation and the monitoring of the performance of energy-saving measures.

The support offered by the firm has enabled the company to make the best decisions to optimize its environmental performance for 10 years.

IMPLEMENTED SOLUTION

To guide IGA Extra Famille Girard towards its full energy and sustainability potential, the TST teams carried out recommissioning projects (RCx) for all of the group's 5 supermarkets, which were 75% subsidized by Transition Énergique Québec (TEQ).

The process of planning, investigation, implementation and energy monitoring for 2 years ensures that the Girard family is fully supported.

In addition to allowing the proper functioning of its energy systems, these services demonstrate the irrevocable benefit of sustainable development.

Conclusion

By reducing their energy consumption and food loss, the Girard family ensures a reduction in their ecological footprint and is part of a global transition movement.

TST has therefore become an essential partner for the commercial industry group by guiding it in implementing the best solutions for all of its sites.
