Energy Efficient Project
Tiabi Waffle, a vegan and sustainability-focused café, worked with Green Dining Nevada and the Nevada Green Business Network to improve energy efficiency at both of their locations. With the installation of LED bulbs, smart thermostats, and motion sensor switches, Tiabi has cut their electricity use, improved efficiency, and lowered utility costs.
“Becoming part of this program helped reinforce my values of sustainability and equitably, and brought them to life in my cafés.”
PROJECT OUTCOMES
- Energy Saved: 5,233 kWh/year
- Emissions Reduced: 1.76 MT CO2e/year
- Projected Cost Savings: $456.90/year
Before the project, outdated
bulbs, thermostats, and
manual switches consumed
excess electricity.
Upgraded LED lighting and
automation improve
efficiency.
Project Results
Tiabi is a community hub for students and local activists, and the improvements reinforce its mission to minimize their carbon footprint. The energy upgrades reduced GHG emissions and created safer, more responsive lighting environments for both customers and staff. The café’s participate in other sustainability programs including GreenBox to Go, making Tiabi Waffle a leader in local green business innovation.
