The Customer
About The Customer
The customer is a national grocery retailer operating over 1,900 stores across 20 well-known banners throughout the United States. The customer is committed to reducing their energy consumption and carbon footprint, and has publicly pledged a series of energy commitments to this end. They faced a complex challenge due to the multiple divisions, disparate building management systems, and a large variety of hardware in their portfolio. Despite these complexities, the customer was determined to find a solution that would provide real-time visibility into their systems, achieve energy reductions, enable proactive maintenance, validate energy savings, and integrate multiple IoT data points into a centralized platform.
The Challenge
The customer, a national grocery retailer with over 1,900 stores across 20 well-known banners, was facing a significant challenge in centralizing energy management due to the multiple divisions, disparate building management systems, and a large variety of hardware in their portfolio. The customer had a series of public energy commitments aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. They required a solution that would provide real-time visibility into the performance of their refrigeration, HVAC, and lighting systems at the equipment level across their enterprise. They also needed to achieve energy reductions that would meet corporate ROI requirements, proactive maintenance processes on identified energy and building efficiency opportunities, the ability to validate energy savings through a Measurement & Verification (M&V) process, and the ability to integrate multiple IoT data points into one centralized platform.
The Solution
PhoenixET provided a solution by integrating their Enterprise Data Xchange (EDX)® with Building Intelligence (BI) reporting across all the customer's locations and divisions. They also set up a management process to work through orders/dispatches on opportunities identified through Phoenix's energy control measures (ECM), where remote fixes were not possible. The solution aimed to reduce energy consumption through specific ECM strategies, including Suction Float Optimization, Discharge Float, High Defrost, VFD, and Corporate Compliance. The EDX platform also enabled the customer to apply for millions of dollars in energy efficiency incentives provided through utility programs.
Operational Impact
  • The solution provided by PhoenixET eased the burden of managing disparate equipment and allowed for energy reduction through continuous remote commissioning. The customer benefited from ease of implementation and workflow assistance. They also gained an enterprise view and remote control of their stores that consolidated data for comparison and strategic decisions. This enabled them to meet their corporate compliance setpoints and schedules, and to qualify for millions of dollars in energy efficiency incentives provided through utility programs.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Significant energy consumption reductions
  • 3-5x Return on Investment (ROI)
  • Qualification for millions of dollars in rebates and incentive dollars from utilities
