Case Study: National Chain of Discount Stores achieves $1M+ annual energy savings with Powerhouse Dynamics' SiteSage

National retail chain of discount stores saves more than $1,000,000 in energy costs per year with SiteSage

National Retailer, a national value/discount chain targeting the teen and pre-teen market, faced dramatic growth and rapidly rising energy, staff, and product costs that threatened margins and store comfort. After a consultant-led evaluation they selected Powerhouse Dynamics’ SiteSage platform to gain enterprise visibility and control over HVAC and lighting while meeting strict data-security requirements.

Powerhouse Dynamics implemented SiteSage with SmartStat thermostats, RTU monitoring, automated lighting schedules, and proactive HVAC analytics to remotely control rooftop units, track real-time power and temperatures, and detect maintenance needs. The 20-store pilot delivered over 10% energy savings with payback in under 18 months; SiteSage was then rolled out to more than 700 locations, producing more than $1,000,000 in annual energy savings and enabling more proactive, lower-cost maintenance.
