Franchise owners add more dough to
their bottom line by rolling out an
EMS at every location
Franchise owners of a popular coffee and
baked goods chain in London, Ontario,
wanted to ensure their HVAC and lighting
were performing optimally and that
kitchen equipment was running properly
at each facility. Relying on staff to
manually record temperatures and settings
was proving to be time-consuming and
prone to human error. Like all franchise
owners, they are juggling many
responsibilities. An energy management
system saves time and money by providing
instant access to energy loads at each
location, tracking utility consumption
history, and enabling remote monitoring
and alarming on mission critical
equipment.
Solution
Siemens partner Ron White, a system
integrator with EH Controls in Ontario,
recommends the Siemens EcoView Energy
Management System (EMS) as an
affordable, easy-to-install, and easy-to-use
solution. Designed specifically to meet the
energy management needs of restaurants,
medical offices, retail shops and other
small commercial businesses, EcoView is a
feature rich wireless EMS that provides a
rapid payback through reduced energy
bills. It is a truly scalable and predictable
solution for a sector where managing
rising energy costs can have a significant
impact on narrow profit margins.
EcoView has been proven to lower energy
consumption and costs and enables
visibility and control of HVAC, lighting, and
other energy loads from one central point.
Its distinct advantages and proven success
in restaurant chains throughout the
Americas have made it an investment that
delivers a fast return on investment.
Studies have shown typical ROI to be less
than 24 months or 5 – 18% energy usage
reduction. With EcoView, a franchise
owner has the ability to schedule, monitor,
and control energy loads from anywhere
they have an internet connection.
“EcoView is a perfect solution for small
commercial properties, like restaurants,
because it targets energy saving strategies
and installs with minimal out-of-pocket
costs and minimal disruption to patrons,”
said Ron. He has seen the solution
successfully in action throughout this chain
in the London metropolitan area. “With
each franchise owner, we have started by
installing a system at one location. It
doesn’t take long for the owner to see the
savings on their energy bills, and then we
are installing EcoView at all of their other
locations, too,” he added. There are
currently 26 sites in the London area that
have implemented the EcoView EMS, with
more on the horizon.
