Despite having a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) already in place to centrally manage energy use, Glenmorangie sought a more focused solution to improve efficiency, reduce costs and create a more comfortable environment for their team. They engaged Zenergi to do an energy management audit, look beyond the obvious and find strategic optimisations that would deliver meaningful results.
Working collaboratively with the Glenmorangie team, we installed an Automatic Monitoring and Targeting (AM&T) submetering platform to track temperatures and energy consumption across the facility. We zeroed in on some key areas for improvement including temperature sensors, compressor controls and opportunities to tailor energy consumption directly to occupancy. This data-driven approach allowed us to adjust specifics rather than implementing generic solutions, ensuring every change would deliver maximum impact.
The entire Glenmorangie team is delighted with the support Zenergi Group offer and the way they conduct their business – very professional. We have achieved savings of 55% during this period and identified areas to focus and maintain savings in a structured approach going forward."

What we were creating was unique: a full-service programme that included real-time energy data monitoring, full-scale energy audits, staff and student training and more.
In a challenging economic climate, businesses are facing increasing energy costs alongside growing pressure to reduce their environmental impact. Glenmorangie’s approach demonstrates how companies can address both challenges simultaneously, with expert support in making smart, targeted interventions.
By focusing on optimisation rather than extensive replacement, we helped Glenmorangie achieve remarkable efficiencies without major capital expenditure. Their success is proof that significant energy reductions are within reach for other organisations, with the help of an energy consultant and some smart, strategic adjustments to existing systems. For an industry-leading brand committed to both premium quality and sustainability, the upgrades Glenmorangie made are perfectly aligned with their corporate social responsibility while delivering substantial cost savings.
This project perfectly illustrates the power of targeted optimisation. It's not always about installing completely new systems – sometimes the most effective approach is just to make existing technology work smarter. By using data to drive decisions and working in close partnership with our team, they've managed to cut their energy expenditure in half - which benefits both their business and the environment. It gives a taste of what’s possible for other organisations."

Our targeted approach to energy efficiency transformed Glenmorangie’s operations:
Temperature control: We discovered temperatures were regularly exceeding 25°C, largely due to the location of wireless temperature sensors. By strategically repositioning these sensors, we achieved an immediate 6% reduction in gas consumption through more accurate temperature control.
Compressor optimisation: We identified that their large compressor was operating longer than required. By implementing smarter controls, we significantly reduced excess energy consumption from the compressors.
Pandemic response: During the site closure due to COVID-19, we collaborated closely with the Glenmorangie team to minimise energy consumption by ensuring the building systems, compressors and air handling units (AHUs) were adjusted in line with reduced occupancy.
Comfort and savings: The improvements delivered both enhanced comfort and remarkable energy savings – a 59% reduction in electricity consumption and a 52% reduction in gas consumption.
