Case Study: Kitchen Stuff Plus reduces energy costs with ecobee SmartBuildings

Kitchen Stuff Plus - Customer Case Study

Kitchen Stuff Plus, a leading Canadian retailer in housewares and home decor, was dealing with an outlier store that had much higher heating and cooling costs than its other locations. The company turned to ecobee and its SmartBuildings platform to pilot a thermostat management solution with better visibility into building performance and energy usage.

ecobee implemented SmartBuildings with centralized controls, mobile access, and diagnostics/reporting tools to monitor thermostats and identify HVAC issues. The solution paid for itself in 12 months, reduced electricity costs by 19% and gas costs by 27.5%, and helped uncover a rooftop unit that was installed incorrectly and using more energy than intended.
