Two, 30-kilowatt wind turbines will generate about 100,000 kwh per year each or enough electricity to power 40 average-sized Canadian homes annually.

The warehouse and parking lot is lit exclusively by LED lighting. LED lights are an estimated 69 % more energy-efficient than incandescents; produce significantly less waste heat, optimal for a refrigerated environment; and can last an estimated 20 years. LED lighting will save the company an estimated seven million kilowatt hours of electricity over five years and help avoid an estimated $645,000 in costs over the same period. Per year, that’s enough electricity to power an estimated 121 average-sized Canadian households.

Two, 30-kilowatt wind turbines will generate about 100,000 kwh per year each or enough electricity to power 40 average-sized Canadian homes annually. Sixteen solar thermal panels on the facility will provide energy to heat domestic hot water for use in offices and maintenance areas. The solar array will produce a peak of over 205 kilowatt hours per day, or the equivalent of heating the water of 20 Canadian homes with 40-gallon tanks.

Walmart Canada’s First Sustainable Distribution Centre, located in Balzac, is estimated to be 60% more energy-efficient than company’s traditional centers, which will help avoid approximately $4.8 million in energy costs over 5 years. One of North America’s most energy-efficient distribution centers, the Balzac facility is a living lab of sustainability and includes the company’s first pilots of hydrogen fuel cells, solar thermal and wind power, as well as many other sustainability features and products.

The waste heat generated by the refrigeration system would normally be lost. Instead, it is captured and routed through this equipment to heat floors and to keep the cooler at 34 degrees during the winter. In a refrigerated building, keeping the area under floors warm prevents heaving due to ice build-up under the slab.

The floor in the Balzac Fresh Food Distribution Center contains a reflective shake to improve the reflective capacity by 80 percent. This makes the facility brighter and reduces lighting requirements.
The floor also contains fly ash, a waste product from coal-fired energy plants that replaces some of the cement content in concrete

Eliminating the gap between transportation vehicles and the facility reduces the loss of refrigerated air. Dock doors are monitored electronically to ensure they are not left open unnecessarily.

Gaps between transportation vehicles and the dock doors have been lessened to reduce the loss of refrigerated air. The windows found in traditional dock doors have been eliminated and insulation installed in levellers, further reducing energy loss. Electronic monitoring ensures that dock doors are not left open unnecessarily.

Using hydrogen instead of lead acid batteries as a power source for material handling equipment, like forklifts, reduces our CO2 emissions from this equipment by 55% annually. Hydrogen fuel cells produce only water and heat as by-products.
