Case Study: Crunch Fitness achieves predictable energy savings and smoother operations with David Energy

How Crunch Fitness doubled their savings and improved operations with electricity spend management

Crunch Fitness, a New York-based franchise, was struggling with unpredictable and expensive electricity bills that strained its operations and margins. Despite installing smart thermostats, a lack of expertise in configuring them led to overspending and member complaints. The company turned to David Energy for a solution to its energy spend management challenges.

David Energy implemented a comprehensive solution, starting with a bill audit to secure a new fixed-rate contract for price predictability. The vendor then used its software platform to manage the gym's thermostats, creating an optimized HVAC schedule. This approach, combined with automated enrollment in energy incentive programs, delivered significant results. Crunch Fitness saved $4,490 from improved thermostat settings and earned an additional $6,610 from incentives, for a total financial benefit of $11,100, while also reducing its operational burden.
