| Some Best in Class Examples |
An international retail chain implemented a broad energy management system by deploying wireless networks in over 300 buildings in multiple countries. They aim to find and eliminate energy waste and to be able to better respond to energy peak demand. They look to reduce CO2 emission by 25% in the next 5 years. Another major retail chain, operating hundreds of supermarkets, is similarly motivated to deploy a system, over a span of just a few months.

| Business Changes to Improve Operations |
Operating hundreds of stores, the large retail chain is looking to save millions of dollars a year by retrofitting their stores with a wireless energy management system. Systems consisting of 50 to 80 devices are deployed rapidly in matter of a few days each. Their initial focus is energy metering.
Retailers are no longer operating blind in their efforts to adjust energy consumption to reduce peak demand. Actual information about how much energy each piece of equipment consumes over time equips them to intelligently manage their energy demand during peak hours. For example, the supermarkets are able to identify equipment that consumes most of the energy during peak time and adjust their operation. They can also track energy consumed by non-essential equipment.

| Green is Good on Bottom Line |
Businesses must carefully focus effort on doing what it takes to keep their customers. The energy they consume is a part of doing business, and most business hours are during peak demand periods. There is growing recognition that general wastefulness and non-essential load during peak periods is bad for business, bad for the utility operations and quality of service, bad for the general economy and bad for the environment.
Retailers can see real value in energy conservation that improves sustainability for both the planet and their business.
