I’ll never forget the moment that changed how I think about retail energy usage. I was walking through a client’s store at closing time, watching the staff meticulously turn off lights and adjust thermostats zone by zone. That’s when it hit me – we were doing this all wrong.

You see, at Braingine, we’ve discovered something fascinating: your customers’ shopping patterns hold the key to revolutionary energy savings. Let me share what we’ve learned through our journey.

Remember that feeling when you walk into a store and some areas feel too warm while others are too cold? There’s a reason for that, and it’s costing retailers more than they realize. Through our computer vision technology, we’ve uncovered that most stores waste energy in predictable patterns:
Empty aisles stay fully lit 70% of the day
HVAC systems run at full capacity in low-traffic zones
Display lighting remains constant regardless of natural light levels

Here’s where the magic happens. Our AI doesn’t just track these patterns – it learns and adapts in real-time. Imagine your store as a living, breathing entity that responds to your customers’ movements:

• Lights brighten as customers approach, dim when they leave
• HVAC adjusts based on real-time occupancy
• Display lighting automatically compensates for natural light changes

The results have touched my heart. One of our recent partners, a family-owned grocery chain, saw:

• 22% reduction in energy bills
• 31% decrease in carbon footprint
• Zero negative impact on customer comfort
• Full ROI in just 4.5 months

But here’s what really makes me smile: a store manager told me last week, “For the first time, I feel like we’re not just selling products – we’re actually helping the planet.”

The best part? Installation is simple, and the system starts learning immediately. Within weeks, you’re not just saving money – you’re making a real difference for our environment.
