Case Study: a large clothing retailer and a pharmaceutical distribution company reduce HVAC energy costs with Encycle Swarm Logic

How Encycle helped a large clothing retailer and a pharmaceutical distribution company save thousands of dollars annually on HVAC energy while qualifying for significant utility incentives

Encycle helped a large clothing retailer and a pharmaceutical distribution company overcome their energy management challenges. Both organizations operated large distribution centers with significant HVAC systems and sought to improve efficiency, meet corporate sustainability goals, and gain better insights into their equipment's performance. The pharmaceutical distributor also needed to protect temperature-sensitive products.

The solution involved implementing Encycle's Swarm Logic technology, which networked the HVAC rooftop units for more efficient operation and provided visibility via the Swarm Portal. For Encycle, the results were substantial financial and environmental savings. The clothing retailer achieved over $100,000 in annual energy savings and a 10% reduction in consumption, while the pharmaceutical wholesaler saved $23,000 annually with a 14% consumption reduction. Both companies also earned significant demand response incentives and reduced their carbon emissions.
