Case Studies
Staples, Inc., the world's largest office supply chain store, came to us with an energy management program that was already considered a leader in the retail sector and asked us to help them improve it through a Strategic Assessment and project implementation. The initial goal was simply to improve the approach to managing the wide variety of vendor partners that served the Staples program. This quickly grew into a holistic program review and establishment of a 3-5 year energy strategic plan. Leveraging years of experience in the energy management field and business process optimization, we worked closely with Staples to craft a strategic plan that included a prioritization of new initiatives, estimated business return on investment and tactics designed to take the Staples program to the next level, showing potential savings of over 10%.

FelCor, a real estate investment trust in the hospitality market, is a longtime client that receives our more traditional suite of full energy management services. Since we began working together, FelCor has deployed a number of energy related initiatives with a positive impact on their bottom line. This included hotel energy management research, project recommendations with ROI analysis, vendor due diligence and recommendations, utility rebates review and applications, project management with coordination of vendors and hotel schedules for systems/equipment installation, and working with vendors to ensure ongoing support.
