Management System Reduces Energy Costs and Improves Profits for Chain

Boston-based restaurant chain b.good has teamed with Powerhouse Dynamics to implement its eMonitor resource and asset management system. b.good saved money the first week the system was installed. The eMonitor analyzes every electric load in a facility and delivers real-time intelligence to eliminate excessive energy spending, such as equipment operating unnecessarily during off hours.  The system also remotely controls heating and cooling, leverages a unique pattern recognition capability to identify equipment-related issues before they turn into major problems, and can monitor natural gas and water usage as well as temperatures and other key variables.
