Is it possible to make more efficient use of energy in a cider house?

Cookers, ovens, dishwashers, fryers, refrigeration, air conditioning, heating and other kitchen appliances are connected all the time in a cider house. This, together with the lighting systems, makes any cider house a major challenge in terms of energy efficiency.

Saving energy in a cider maker is not only possible, but for Iruin, renewable energies are a priority that goes far beyond the kitchen. The high cost, both economic and environmental, of energy consumption is one of our main concerns, as we can be one of the establishments with the highest energy consumption per square metre. However, a good energy plan reduces the electricity bill significantly, as well as being the first step towards becoming a sustainable restaurant. 

At Iruin Sagardotegia we are still committed to innovation and we want to improve day by day. We work towards innovation and the fine-tuning of the premises. In addition, and bearing in mind that the world has recently undergone an energy revolution, we want to improve our environment as much as possible.

A healthy ecosystem improves the quality of our cider, so we have decided to be part of the change and bet on renewable energies, placing solar panels on the premises among other important improvements within our facilities and our daily work routines.

To start talking about energy efficiency, let's understand it as a mechanism that seeks the adoption of technology and good consumption habits, whose objective is to optimise the management and use of available energy resources. 

Some of the positive aspects of investing in energy efficiency include:

• Reducing between 10% and 30% of operating costs, without reducing the quality of service, products and comfort within our facilities.
• Increasing the value of our service chain, which increases customer satisfaction.
• Helps to have a fresher and more pleasant kitchen environment.

Improve the quality of food prepared and hygiene standards.

Undoubtedly, ensuring the efficient use of resources is a priority practice at Sidrería Iruin. Come and see for yourself. We look forward to seeing you.
