LED Lighting: Substantially all of Casey’s stores use LED lighting for interior lights, parking lot lights, exterior canopies, cooler/freezer lights and façade sign lighting, resulting in significant energy savings.
Construction Efficiencies: Stores are designed and built to meet applicable Model Energy Codes, including but not limited to energy efficient HVAC, refrigeration, exhaust and water-heating equipment and energy efficient windows and doors.
Water Reduction: Implemented a number of water-usage initiatives, including reduced and rain-sensing irrigation practices and low-flow faucet aerators, restroom equipment and other hardware.
Ethanol Blended Fuel and Biodiesel: Ethanol blended fuel is available at all stores (E10 – all stores, E15 – 254 stores, and E85 – 226 stores), with higher blend sales exceeding three million gallons per month. In addition, biodiesel is available at over 1,000 stores, and over half the diesel fuel sold is blended with 5% or more biodiesel.
