Thermostat Controls for C Store Energy Management

Convenience stores use 3 times as much energy

Convenience store energy usage exceeds most other retail stores because c-stores manage an extensive set of mission critical equipment. Not only does that make equipment management across a portfolio of stores a major challenge, but it also makes effective c-store energy management a great place to cut expenses, since convenience stores with attached gas stations and car washes use even more energy.

The benefits continue with food safety

Even enterprise energy management from SiteSage can deliver significant savings and a rapid payback. Over and above energy savings, though, SiteSage can also increase staff productivity, reduce equipment maintenance costs, and protect food safety and quality.

Customer Review

"With approximately 120 company-operated convenience stores within our network, effectively monitoring electricity use and managing energy expenses is extremely important to the bottom line. SiteSage enables us to identify in detail the individual drivers of energy costs, including walk-in coolers, pumps, lights and HVAC systems.

Another benefit is SiteSage’s ability to red-flag a piece of equipment that is using more power than it has historically – an indication that a component may be on its way out. That warning enables us to take action before the system fails, which in turn prevents downtime, potentially saves additional expense and keeps our facilities operating smoothly."
