In retail, consistency is everything, whether it’s your branding, customer experience, or store conditions. But behind the scenes, two of the biggest factors affecting that consistency are also two of the most overlooked: HVAC and lighting control.
At Engenuity Systems, we’ve seen how small changes in how retail stores manage heating, cooling, and lighting can deliver big returns. With eViewIoT, you get the tools to make those changes automatically, intelligently, and at scale.
Why HVAC and Lighting Matter More Than You Think
They’re easy to ignore-until they aren’t:
- HVAC systems silently burn through energy, often running when the store is empty
- Lighting systems stay on during off-hours, draining utility budgets
- Inconsistent settings across locations lead to bloated costs and frustrated customers
- Manual controls get overridden by staff with no visibility from corporate
Together, HVAC and lighting make up the majority of controllable energy use in most retail buildings. That’s why they’re the ideal place to start if you’re looking to save on your electric bill.
How eViewIoT Puts You in Control
✅ Custom HVAC Scheduling
Control heating and cooling based on store hours, traffic patterns, and weather. Whether it’s Monday morning or Saturday afternoon, your HVAC adjusts automatically, without staff involvement.
✅ Zone-Based Management
Larger stores can divide HVAC into zones for more efficient control. Cool the sales floor without over-conditioning storage rooms or break areas.
✅ Lighting Automation
Create lighting schedules by time of day, store type, or region. Need to turn off display lighting after closing? Set it once, and ViewIoT handles the rest.
✅ Sunrise/Sunset Lighting Logic
Instead of guessing daylight hours, your store’s lighting adjusts based on real-time sunrise and sunset—perfect for exterior signage and parking lots.
✅ Remote Override Protection
Prevent local staff from overriding setpoints or turning systems on full-blast unnecessarily. With eViewIoT, control stays where it should – with you.
Smart Retail Starts With Smart Basics
Before investing in advanced analytics or complex automation, retail operators need to get the fundamentals right. eViewIoT helps you:
- Standardize operations across stores
- Eliminate energy waste
- Protect equipment
- Improve customer comfort
All from a cloud-based platform that’s easy to roll out and manage.
