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.

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. Read More Log in to view content
