Automotive & Service Centres
Kal Tire is one of Canada’s largest independent automotive service organizations, operating over 270 locations across Canada and supporting retail, commercial, and fleet customers nationwide. The organization manages a highly distributed portfolio of facilities that include customer-facing service centres, high-activity service bays, and supporting operational spaces.
Operating at this scale requires consistent performance across facilities with different layouts, service offerings, operating hours, and regional conditions. Locations must support both customer experience and intensive service operations, creating complex operational environments where lighting, equipment use, and energy performance play an important role in day-to-day operations.
Managing energy and facility performance across such a large and diverse network requires coordinated planning, structured evaluation methods, and long-term asset and investment strategies.
SustainErgy has supported Kal Tire through targeted, repeatable engagements focused on energy performance, lighting improvements, retrofit planning, and investment evaluation across selected locations.
Engagements have been structured to support consistent evaluation, comparison, and planning across facilities while remaining adaptable to site-specific conditions, operational priorities, and internal timelines. Support has been provided through planning-level analysis, decision-support activities, and coordination related to facility improvement initiatives.
Lighting performance review and lighting retrofit planning considerations.
Energy assessments supporting operational and investment decisions.
Comparative evaluation of retrofit options and upgrade pathways.
High-level payback and investment planning analysis.
Incentive and funding coordination support.
Alignment with internal planning processes, priorities, and timelines.
The engagement supported improved visibility into energy use and lighting performance, informed internal discussions around facility upgrades, and contributed to planning and evaluation activities related to future investments and incentive alignment.
The work also supported a broader, structured approach to evaluating facility performance and improvement opportunities across a large, distributed network.
