Operational Data Provides Enhanced Real-Time Visibility

Saving the Planet and Improving Profits One Store at a Time

National Health Club is one of the largest health club chains in the country, with 400 locations and more than 22,000 employees.  The clubs are open 24 hours a day to allow members to make their workout fit their schedule and become an energizing and rewarding part of their day.

“Within our Facilities Management group, the value of ENTOUCH is to know where and when to troubleshoot and repair. For our Finance team, the biggest value is ROI. ENTOUCH has far exceeded our energy savings expectations. If we had stayed with our old system, we would have only had 5% savings.”

HYTECH Creates High-Margin Recurring Revenue Stream

HVAC industry veteran Chip Lafferty believes in driving improvement
through innovation. Chip had built one of the largest HVAC mechanical
businesses in the country but was not satisfied.

“About five years ago, we recognized IoT was the next step in the HVAC industry and chose ENTOUCH to be our partner. The combination of their hardware, portal, and  mobile installation tool is unbeatable.” 

Savings of More Than 17%, And $4.6M of Maintenance Savings

BGIS has a long-term relationship with a well-known North American financial institution with freestanding retail banking locations. One of the bank’s leading business goals is to advance the low-carbon economy by 2030, and they identified improvements from within their physical real estate portfolio as a priority.

“Our customer was impressed we could provide a solution that protected their current HVAC equipment investment while also allowing control and monitoring of these systems and devices from the ENTOUCH.cloud. Being able to leverage the existing equipment while providing the same level of data decreased the project’s total cost, achieving a faster ROI.”

Savings 10% of HVAC energy usage while gaining equipment visibility

Our North American Discount Retailer, was planning another 700 location expansion and knew they needed to get their energy consumption under control and reduce its carbon footprint.

“Within our Facilities Management Group, the value of ENTOUCH is greater than we anticipated. We now have visibility into each RTU, not a general overview of our HVAC at each location. We know when a unit begins to underperform and can take repair level action instead of replacing a unit.“

Consolidating retail locations, distribution centers and corporate office provides visibility to our total energy consumption

This North American retailer with distribution centers in the United States and Canada is a prime example of how energy management can significantly reduce operational costs. After reviewing many energy management programs focused on reducing energy consumption, improving operational efficiency, and achieving sustainability goals, the retailer realized ENTOUCH would deliver! Additionally, they would improve their ability to target capital investments in equipment.

“Our facilities’ carbon footprint is driven by three main sources: our stores, distribution centers, and headquarters. In 2017, we made upgrades to HVAC systems, lighting systems, and Energy Management Systems, and began a partnership with ENTOUCH, the industry-leader of dynamic smart building solutions, to reduce our footprint.”
