Like many supermarkets, Price Chopper/Market 32’s outdated systems and long run-hours left them with high utility bills and old equipment. The supermarket chain chose three efficiency measures as part of this project, including LED lighting, fan motors and demand ventilation control in different parts of each store.
Mantis Innovation designed a three-measure project for the campus based around LED lighting, controls, and HVAC. The complete overhaul and upgrades are expected to save the University of Hartford an estimated 5.3 million kWh annually, equaling an estimated savings of $955,000.
A comprehensive lighting and mechanical project became the latest Mitchell College energy efficiency initiative that targets better operations and decreasing the school’s environmental impact.
Through this sustainability project, the school was able to replace an old, inefficient system that was not only producing carbon emissions and consuming excessive energy, but also causing significant, annual maintenance costs.
Director of Project Management for Mantis Innovation, Tom Cashman has offered a strong background in energy efficiency during his 5+ years with the team. Specifically, Tom worked in the grocery facilities industry prior to joining Mantis, and this experience has uniquely positioned him to understand how this type of building can benefit from energy solutions. We asked Tom a series of questions to learn more about energy efficiency in the grocery store industry.
This efficiency solutions project helps to meet Price Chopper/Market 32’s sustainability goals while decreasing costs by over $2 million annually with 75% of the project cost covered by Eversource Connecticut utility incentives.

The framework for understanding utility incentives is simple: utilities want commercial/industrial businesses to use energy efficiently and they are willing to subsidize the process, meaning there’s money available to fund energy efficiency initiatives. Easy. The harder part is qualifying your own projects for those available financial resources.
Supermarkets are a staple in our society, some of the most important and most frequently visited commercial locations in the country. They also make up one of the most energy dense industries. From constant refrigeration to lighting large facilities, supermarkets and grocery stores can benefit significantly from increased energy efficiency.
Trinity Health of New England contracted with the efficiency solutions group at Mantis Innovation to develop and implement lighting and mechanical efficiency solutions at three of its hospitals:
