Hardee’s Franchisee, Boddie Noell, Completes Deployment of GridPoint’s Smart Building Solution Across Entire Fleet

Large Franchisee Reduces Energy Spend and Drives Sustainability
Through Energy Management

RESTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GridPoint today announced the completion of a 337 site rollout with the
largest Hardee’s franchisee in the country, Boddie Noell. The
enterprise-wide rollout supports Boddie Noell’s initiative to further
drive sustainability, energy savings, and increase operational
efficiency. The franchisee has achieved significant energy savings using
GridPoint’s solution, on top of their previously installed energy
management solution, and plans to include the technology in all future
construction of new facilities.

GridPoint is a smart buildings technology company that makes site
optimization simple. The GridPoint Energy Manager platform provides
visibility into facility operations to help customers automate and
control sites, lower energy spend, and proactively manage day-to-day
operations. GridPoint’s solution is unique because it utilizes three
dimensions of data to create the most accurate picture of energy usage
within a building: granular data at the equipment-level, real-time data,
and historical data.

Boddie Noell began working with GridPoint in 2006, and will continue to
leverage extensive submetering and controls for HVAC units, coolers and
freezers, lighting, and cooking equipment. GridPoint’s solution provides
full visibility into energy usage and facility health of each location
to Boddie Noell’s facilities team, and enables them to create optimized
energy strategies. As food safety is a growing concern, temperature
monitoring in freezers, coolers, water heaters, and restaurant zones
supports food safety requirements while ensuring that customers and
employees are comfortable.

The data collected is visualized through GridPoint Energy Manager and
GridPoint Energy Manager Mobile, providing Boddie Noell with on-the-go
access to their data and site schedules 24/7. The mobile app is also
used by their regional facility managers for equipment diagnostics and
troubleshooting when issues arise. Further, Boddie Noell’s solution
incorporates GridPoint’s Energy Advisory and Control Support Services to
help them manage and optimize their locations, monthly meetings are held
to discuss opportunities for improvement and technological advancements.

“Deploying GridPoint’s solution in all of our locations gives our
facilities teams full visibility and control in order to maximize energy
savings and achieve our operational goals,” says Greg Ferrell, Director
of Facilities Management at Boddie Noell. “We could not be happier with
GridPoint’s innovative tools and excellent service they provide.”

“Boddie Noell is an exemplary customer who has taken full advantage of
the benefits GridPoint’s solution provides,” says John Richmond, SVP of
National Accounts at GridPoint. “Their commitment to improvement is
remarkable, and is proven through strong savings numbers achieved across
hundreds of sites, sustained over time.”
