Case Study: Big Box Store accelerates net-zero progress with GridPoint

National retail chain accelerates path to net zero with data-driven solutions

Big Box Store, a national retail chain, faced challenges in advancing its net-zero sustainability strategy due to a lack of detailed, asset-level energy data. Their existing methods, which relied on utility bills and estimates, did not provide the portfolio-wide visibility needed to benchmark success or manage the energy impact of new refrigeration equipment. To address this, they partnered with GridPoint for its hardware, software, and energy advisory services to gain a more data-driven understanding of their energy consumption.

GridPoint implemented a comprehensive solution featuring asset-level submetering and a centralized data platform. This provided Big Box Store with granular, real-time intelligence across its portfolio, enabling them to identify costly exceptions, validate efficiency projects, and better manage demand response and power quality. The results included improved operational efficiency, informed energy procurement strategies, and a cost-effective foundation that supports the retailer's long-term net-zero goals and future expansion. GridPoint's platform was essential in turning data into actionable insights for sustainability.
