Case Study: a national grocery chain achieves 4% energy reduction with Phoenix Energy Technologies

National Grocery Chain - Customer Case Study

A national grocery chain faced the challenge of reducing its energy expenditure by 4% across 193 locations without any capital investment. To achieve this, they needed to leverage existing infrastructure rather than fund new equipment upgrades. They selected Phoenix Energy Technologies for its enterprise-wide consultative approach, control systems expertise, and gateway technology capable of connecting to their refrigeration systems.

PhoenixET implemented a solution that involved creating detailed profiles for each store to analyze HVAC schedules. They identified that third-party spaces like banks and pharmacies were operating on much longer schedules than necessary. By re-commissioning these HVAC units to match actual operating hours, the project delivered projected annual savings of $1-1.5 million, successfully meeting the 4% energy reduction goal.
