As Americans embrace the burgeoning green movement, surging numbers of consumers are opting to spend their money with retailers doing the same thing.

Forward-thinking retailers not only understand the cost savings of energy conservation, but also the public relations value that goes along with it. Recently, the US Environmental Protection Agency's Green Partnership named Whole Foods, Starbucks, Staples and Lowes among their top 10 retailers. It's no coincidence that these companies are thriving.

Comverge has the expertise and the tools to help your stores go greener today. Our energy infrastructure management solutions will help you immediately improve operating efficiency, cut energy costs and give your customers another reason to shop with you.

Comverge has helped retailers of all sizes realize opportunities to save energy and money in:

• Lighting
• Central Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning  (HVAC)
• Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems
• Refrigeration
• Motor systems (pumps, fans, compressors)
• Office/Electronics Equipment

Case in Point
Across 29 facilities within one regional transmission zone, Comverge specialists, using our comprehensive energy audit, identified 8 to 10 kilowatts of daily load that could be shed through reprogramming of the existing energy infrastructure.  A further evaluation of our Demand Response program maximized participation, and this small box retailer realized an additional $20,000 in incentive payments.
