SLEEMAN BREWERIES LTD.
INTRODUCTION
Sleeman Breweries Ltd. is one of the fastest growing premium brewers in North
America. Enviro-Stewards Inc. conducted energy & resource conservation
assessments at Sleemanʼs Guelph, Ontario and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia facilities.
Enviro-Stewards was able to identify feasible opportunities to
save $330,000 per year with a 0.9 year return on investment
(at Guelph facility alone).
SLEEMAN / DARTMOUTH
Enviro-Stewards conducted a water and product conservation assessment at
Sleemanʼs Dartmouth, Nova Scotia facility. As presented at Environment Canadaʼs
Atlantic Brewery & Winery Pollution Prevention Workshop, the assessment identified
opportunities to reduce water consumption by 10% to 18% and to recover an additional
200,000 L/year of product. A subsequent Energy Efficiency (E2) assessment identified
opportunities to reduce electrical and thermal energy consumption by 14% and 7%,
respectively (with less than a 2-year return on investment).
SLEEMAN / GUELPH
Enviro-Stewards completed a water and thermal energy conservation assessment at
Sleemanʼs Guelph, Ontario facility. The study identified feasible opportunities to
reduce water and natural gas consumption by 8% and 20%, respectively (projected
savings $330,000/year with 0.9 year return on investment).
