Most energy efficiency projects produce projected savings that exist only on paper. Perigon builds long-term monitoring into every engagement — so results are verified, not assumed.

CASE STUDY · AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP · MARGATE, FLORIDA

$23.5 Million in Verified Savings — 16.9 Years of Documented Results

JM Lexus of Margate · World's largest Lexus dealership · Retrofit completed December 2008

THE CHALLENGE

JM Lexus of Margate — the world's largest Lexus dealership — was operating with aging lighting, HVAC, and chiller infrastructure across four major utility meters. The facility had no on-site solar generation despite sitting in one of Florida's highest solar-resource markets. Without automated controls or demand monitoring, energy consumption ran unchecked across the entire property, creating avoidable demand spikes and compounding utility costs year-round.

THE SOLUTION

• Full LED lighting conversion — showroom, service bays, body shop, parking areas, and exterior lot

• Complete HVAC replacement with programmable thermostats and variable frequency drives on all air handlers

• Chiller plant optimization and water management program

• On-site solar PV installation with net metering enrollment

• Wastewater credit capture program — $204,000 in verified credits

• Building-wide energy monitoring across all four meters from day one

VERIFIED RESULTS — 16.9 YEARS

• Metric Result Electric utility savings$10.97M (Jan 2009 – 2025)

• Solar net metering credits $12.36M (2009 – 2025)

• Wastewater credits $204,000 (Oct 2011 – Aug 2013)

• Total combined savings $23.5M — 16.9 years verified

• Current annual utility cost $349,027 across all four meters (2024–2025)

Unlike projected savings that exist only on paper, JM Lexus's 16.9-year utility tracking record provides real, auditable proof of sustained performance — verified monthly across all four meters from January 2009 through 2025..

CASE STUDY  ·  PRIVATE GOLF CLUB  ·  PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA

$358,224 in Annual Savings — Zero Upfront Capital

Chaparral Country Club  ·  Comprehensive energy retrofit & solar restoration

THE CHALLENGE

A private residential golf community was spending $233,592 per year across six utility meters. 95% of the existing solar array was non-functional, forcing the club to draw all power from the grid at premium rates. All 17 HVAC units were outdated and running on phased-out R-22 refrigerant. Pump motors ran at full capacity with no variable frequency drives, creating costly demand spikes year-round.

THE SOLUTION

• Solar PV restoration and battery storage integration

• All 17 HVAC units replaced — R-32, ASHRAE 62 compliant

• 200 interior and exterior LED fixtures replaced

• 5 variable frequency drives installed on pump motors, eliminating demand surges

• Demand reduction via battery and VFD coordination

• Zero upfront cost
