Sprint Runs Energy Efficiency with Yardi Proliphix

Communications services company cuts costs with an affordable
energy management system and continuous commissioning of retail stores

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sprint’s dedication to customer convenience led to more sustainable
operating practices, which helped increase the size of the company’s
portfolio by 30% since 2015, despite pressure from online sellers on
bricks and mortar retail.

One of the keys to this strategy is Yardi®
Proliphix. This building energy management system helps optimize
lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems with
cloud-based remote management software. The system continuously monitors
temperatures, thermostat settings and potential equipment malfunctions.

Sprint initially implemented Yardi Proliphix in 2012 to reduce energy
costs in its retail locations by 15% with an anticipated 18-month return
on investment. The initial success of this project prompted Sprint to
extend its Yardi Proliphix deployment as its portfolio expanded.

Many retailers, particularly those with smaller locations, consider
energy management systems too expensive. However, the new Yardi
Proliphix implementations will cost Sprint less than a conventional
standard programmable thermostat. Because Yardi Proliphix can function
as a lighting control system, Sprint will not need to install a second
system.

“An effective energy management system is absolutely necessary to
maintaining low operational costs. Proliphix represents an excellent
investment for our portfolio by maintaining a 14% reduction in energy
costs and a 15-20% reduction in maintenance costs. As a diagnostic tool,
it helps our maintenance teams be proactive and efficient,” said Darrel
Carter, enterprise energy manager for Sprint.

Yardi Proliphix also helps Sprint avoid the erosion of energy upgrade
benefits—up to 30% annually—that occurs without continuous commissioning
of energy and comfort management systems.

“Proliphix gives Sprint the support and tools for ongoing cost savings,
consumption reduction and customer comfort that aren’t possible with a
one-time ‘set it and forget it’ approach. Yardi looks forward to helping
Sprint continue to achieve its energy efficiency goals,” said Matt
Eggers, vice president of Yardi Energy.
