Designed specifically for small-box retail chains with hundreds to thousands of locations, Surveyor provides the facility managers with visibility into their energy usage, enabling them to remotely monitor and manage their HVAC and lighting/electrical and mechanical systems in all their stores.

Surveyor collects data from the sensors, installed on each piece of energy consuming equipments at the facility via internet, and communicates the data to the users, allowing them to manage their power consumption accordingly.

Using a desktop computer, laptop or any telephone, the user has immediate access to Surveyor from virtually anywhere where there is cellular or WiFi coverage to effectively control the HVAC, lighting/electrical, and mechanical equipment at thousands of locations.

While Surveyor can automatically adjust HVAC, lighting/electrical and mechanical systems to accommodate day-to-day store schedules, users can also make adjustments to handle last-minute schedule changes, such as extra hours, unusual maintenance, resulting in energy cost savings.

Venstar president and CEO Steve Dushane said that Surveyor gives users unprecedented visibility into energy usage at their stores via its internet-based application that can easily be managed by a single person for a chain’s entire portfolio of stores, whether in the office or on the go.

“Surveyor users typically save 25% on their energy use, resulting in the savings of millions of dollars in energy usage,” Dushane said.
