Case Study: Not Your Average Joe's achieves 9-month payback and $10,000+ annual energy savings with Powerhouse Dynamics' SiteSage

SiteSage Delivers 9-Month Payback at Not Your Average Joe’s

Not Your Average Joe's, a Boston-area casual restaurant chain, was facing rising and unexplained energy costs after two high-energy stores posted unusually large utility bills. To get energy costs under control and better monitor HVAC and equipment performance, the chain piloted Powerhouse Dynamics' SiteSage energy and asset management system across two stores (plus one additional site).

Powerhouse Dynamics' SiteSage delivered granular monitoring, alerts and remote HVAC control that identified unnecessary runtimes, enabled schedule and setpoint corrections, and improved equipment scheduling and maintenance. The pilot stores saw 15% and 17% reductions in energy dollars (compared with about a 6% drop systemwide), achieved over $10,000 in annual savings, and realized a roughly nine-month payback—results that drove a wider roll‑out.
