OBJECTIVES:
- Reduce energy consumption: The primary objective is to decrease the amount of energy used by National Burger Restaurant.
- Lower energy costs: By reducing energy consumption, the goal is to achieve significant cost savings
- Improve profitability: In a low-margin industry, reducing expenses like energy costs can directly improve the restaurant’s profitability.
- Enhance equipment performance: Implementing energy management systems can lead to better performance and longevity of HVAC and refrigeration equipment.
PROJECT SUMMARY:
This project aimed to help National Burger Restaurant reduce energy costs and improve profitability. Engenuity Systems installed the EviewIot Energy Management Systems at three National Burger Restaurant locations. The systems were monitored before and after activation to assess their effectiveness. The project demonstrated significant energy savings, with an average reduction of 24% across the three locations. This resulted in a combined monthly savings of $1,348 after the managed service fee. The payback periods for the initial investment ranged from 7 to 15 months.
Challenge:
The rising cost of energy presents a significant challenge to restaurant profitability. Our client, operating in a low-margin industry, faces the task of controlling expenses while maintaining operational efficiency.
Solution:
National Burger Restaurant partnered with Engenuity Systems to implement their eViewIoT energy management system in several locations.
PROJECT RESULTS:
The eViewIoT system achieved an average energy savings of 24% across the three locations. This translates to an estimated monthly reduction of 12,488 kWh and a combined monthly savings of $1,348 after the managed service fee. The payback periods for the initial investment ranged from 7 to 15 months. Across their entire platform, this will save them $8,500,000 per month.
