Smartcool Receives 1,000 Unit Order For ECO3™ From North American Distributor

Smartcool’s revolutionary ECO3™ technology has the Utilities and Municipal

Governments “California Dreaming” of Energy Savings

Vancouver, B.C. – Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSXV: SSC) is pleased to announce it has received an order for 1,000 units of its ECO3™ technology from ATI Airtest Technologies, a non-exclusive distributor of Smartcool’s products in the North America region.  This order will be used to fulfill the initial stages of a more comprehensive environmental refit program that is currently being carried out by the Energy Innovation Group (“EIG“) with numerous utilities and municipal governements in Southern California.  The program includes significant utility incentives for the retrofit of private and public buildings, as well as schools, to help reduce overall energy use and expenditures.

“The progress being made by Airtest in marketing the ECO3™ is a clear indication that the product addresses the needs of those that require a reduction in energy use and strict control of their electricity costs,“ stated George Burnes, President of Smartcool Systems Inc.  “Airtest has been able to utilize their existing sales channels effectively to introduce our energy efficiency devices and this order further endorses our decision to create the distribution relationship.“

ECO3™ is a revolutionary product specifically developed as a state of the art, secondary controller for air conditioning and refrigeration systems.  It provides extensive cost savings and environmental benefits by optimizing the energy efficiency of air conditioning and refrigeration systems with one or two compressors.  These cooling units are found in millions of buildings worldwide that includes telecom providers, retailers, restaurants, grocery and convenience stores, hotels, branch offices and other small commercial spaces, and residences. “Until now there has not been a viable way to improve the performance of smaller compressor based air conditioning and refrigeration equipment.  The ECO3 TM opens up a vast new market for energy upgrades that offers us an awesome potential for ongoing sales”, Said Sid Pelston, President of EIG.

“Being recognized by a group such as EIG is a major achievement for Smartcool and our technology,“ added Chris Lefaivre, VP of Sales for Smartcool Systems Inc.  “Both Airtest and EIG are visionaries in the field of energy efficiency technologies.  The inroads being made due to our relationship with these groups certainly bodes well for future projects, especially in California.“
