Case Study: Chipotle Mexican Grill achieves over 13% energy reduction and operational optimization with GridPoint

Chipotle Reduces Energy Usage and Optimizes Restaurants with GridPoint Energy Management

Chipotle Mexican Grill faced the challenge of reducing energy consumption and improving operational efficiency across its restaurants while maintaining guest comfort. To address this, Chipotle Mexican Grill partnered with GridPoint to deploy its energy management system (EMS), including asset-level submetering, HVAC control, temperature monitoring, and the GridPoint Energy Manager cloud analytics platform.

GridPoint implemented submetering, centralized HVAC control, algorithmic optimization, and services like Control Support and Energy Advisory to continuously monitor, diagnose and tune equipment. As a result, Chipotle Mexican Grill realized consistent energy reductions of over 13% across multiple years, reduced peak usage and operational drift, and lowered service costs by triaging issues remotely through GridPoint’s cloud-based tools.
