Case Studies
Proven energy savings across healthcare, education, retail, and more.
UK University: 40% Heat Pump Energy Reduction
A prominent UK university working towards Net Zero by 2030 needed measurable, cost-effective progress. A Smartcool pilot on six heat pump systems reduced energy consumption by 40%, delivering 80,000 kWh in annual savings and a payback period of just 16.5 months — well inside the institution's 10-year threshold.
NHS Avon & Wiltshire: Lansdowne House | 32% Energy Reduction
Avon and Wiltshire NHS Trust invited Smartcool to conduct a proof-of-concept study at Lansdowne House. ECO3™ was installed on two refrigeration systems, delivering a 32% reduction in energy consumption and projected annual savings of over 8,700 kWh.
Global Fashion Retailer: $1M Projected Annual Savings
A global fashion retailer with over 400 stores across 50 countries wanted to reduce energy waste and cut costs at scale. A Panoramic Power pilot across six stores reduced energy use by 15% and saved $20,000. The solution is now being rolled out across 60 stores, with projected annual savings of $1 million.
NHS Avon & Wiltshire: Chatsworth House | 49% Energy Reduction
Smartcool installed ECO3™ on two Daikin VRV systems at Avon and Wiltshire NHS Trust's Chatsworth House. The trial delivered a 49% reduction in energy consumption and projected annual savings of over 6,000 kWh.
CEMEX: Energy Monitoring Across 42 UK Quarry Sites
Global building materials giant CEMEX needed better visibility into equipment performance and energy use across its UK quarry network. Panoramic Power's wireless monitoring technology identified operational inefficiencies, prevented costly equipment failures, and supported significant annual savings across 42 sites.
Bradford Royal Infirmary: 23% Heat Pump Energy Savings
Bradford Royal Infirmary partnered with Smartcool to evaluate ECO3™ on a single Mitsubishi heat pump. The trial confirmed a 23% reduction in energy consumption, with a payback period of under three years.
CBRE Three Snowhill: 125,000 kWh Annual Savings
CBRE's UK facilities management team needed to make measurable progress towards its Science Based Target of Net Zero by 2035. Smartcool installed ESM™ on four chillers at Three Snowhill in Birmingham, delivering 25% energy savings, 125,000 kWh in annual savings, and a payback period of 19.3 months.
CMR Restaurants: $1.2M in Avoided Energy Costs
CMR, one of Mexico's largest restaurant operators, deployed Panoramic Power across its estate through energy management partner S2G Energy. Over 34 months, the programme reduced cumulative energy consumption by 11.4 GWh and helped CMR avoid $1.2 million in unnecessary energy costs, delivering a return on investment of 308%.
UK Hotel Chain: £86,181 Annual Energy Savings
A large UK hotel chain needed to reduce operating costs across multiple sites without disrupting guests or replacing functioning equipment. Smartcool delivered a 22% reduction in heat pump energy consumption, resulting in £86,181 in annual savings across six locations with a payback period under three years.
Outdoor Product Brand: £13,000 Trial Savings
A global outdoor product brand needed to identify and eliminate energy waste across its store locations without replacing functioning equipment. A Panoramic Power trial across four California stores saved £13,000 during the trial period, identified two faulty systems requiring repair, and identified changes that would cut annual energy costs by 10%.
UK Grocery Retailer: 25,554 kWh Annual Savings
A large UK grocery retailer committed to reaching Net Zero by 2040 needed to demonstrate tangible progress. Smartcool was installed across three locations as a proof of concept, delivering 25,554 kWh in annual energy savings and an average payback period under three years.
International Office Provider: 25% Energy Reduction
An international office space provider needed to reduce the operating costs of its HVAC systems without replacing existing equipment or disrupting occupants. Smartcool delivered a 25% reduction in energy consumption, with a payback period of 22.2 months and no impact on occupant comfort.
School District: 250,000 kWh of Annual Savings Identified
A local school district was struggling to identify where energy was being wasted across a complex and varied estate. A two-month Panoramic Power trial identified savings of up to 250,000 kWh per year, equivalent to £17,600 in annual cost reduction.
