Summary

Tianyi Hua helped Walmart China make energy efficiency renovations and carbon emissions calculations.

Goals

Walmart China has set a scientific carbon Target (SBTs), which includes achieving zero emissions from its own operations by 2040 and working with suppliers to reduce carbon emissions in its global supply chain by 2030 through the Gigatons Project. Walmart China recruited Tianyi to help optimize the energy efficiency model of Walmart stores, analyze and formulate improvement measures, and propose energy-saving renovation projects.

Solutions

Produced carbon emissions calculation software for Walmart stores. Data collection and modification of lamps in stores were carried out. The refrigeration machine and the use of refrigerants in the store were analyzed and the subsequent renovation plan was made. The design and simulation of the roof photovoltaic of the store were carried out. The equipment of the store such as the range hood is analyzed and the renovation plan is carried out.

Potential Impact

By inspecting Walmart stores and identifying energy-saving opportunities in stores, Tianyi made energy-saving renovation project plans and subsequent equipment renewal plans for stores and made carbon emission calculation software applicable to stores. After the implementation of these plans, it will help stores save electricity per year in terms of lamp electricity, and roof photovoltaics can generate clean electricity per store per year while achieving a carbon reduction target.
