NEW PARTNERSHIP HELPS VIRGINIA INDUSTRIAL SECTOR INCREASE ENERGY-EFFICIENCY AND INDEPENDENCE

MARTINSVILLE, Va., and HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 23, 2008) – A newly minted partnership between Virginia’s Philpott Manufacturing Extension Partnership (VPMEP) and Energy Automation Systems Inc. (EASI) sets the stage for a statewide improvement in energy independence and efficiency. By helping Virginia’s manufacturing and commercial industries reduce wasteful consumption of energy and improve the quality of the power they use, the partnership will go a long way toward
making businesses more competitive and environmentally conscious.

VPMEP, whose mission is to create and maintain industrial and manufacturing jobs by helping Virginia industries compete, has engaged EASI to provide energy-saving systems that can reduce electrical energy consumption in commercial and industrial facilities by as much as 30 percent.

Working together, VPMEP and EASI will identify Virginia-based industrial companies that stand to benefit from more efficient electrical energy utilization. VPMEP consultants will educate Virginia businesses about energy-saving solutions that conserve energy and improve the quality of power in their electrical systems. EASI will design and install the systems, while both organizations will collaborate to provide support to Virginia businesses.

Amid the backdrop of a turbulent economy, skyrocketing energy costs continue to threaten the financial stability of industrial and manufacturing businesses across the country. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the industrial sector is responsible for about one third of total U.S. energy consumption, the largest consumer of electrical energy tracked by the Federal government.

“Much of the billion dollar economic impact that VPMEP has delivered over the past several years resulted from efficiencies in production and supply chain management,” said Jeff Kohler, executive director of VPMEP. “It is increasingly evident that energy
efficiency plays a key role in fostering a competitive industrial sector in Virginia. EASI brings decades of experience in the design, installation and support of the precise energy-saving solutions required to increase energy independence and improve the profitability of Virginia’s manufacturing industries.”

“EASI systems and support will give Virginia companies a distinct competitive advantage,” said Joseph Merlo, CEO and founder of Energy Automation Systems, Inc. “By reducing their electrical energy consumption with no reduction in performance or
production, these organizations benefit from lower energy costs and increased competitiveness. With the combination of EASI’s energy-saving systems and VPMEP’s network of energy consultants, the state is poised to capture a boost in its economic development.”

ENERGY AUTOMATION SYSTEMS, INC., (EASI) HELPS U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GO GREEN

New contract with U.S. General Services Administration allows government offices to purchase EASI’s energy-saving products and services

Hendersonville, Tenn., July 14, 2008 – Energy Automation Systems, Inc., (EASI) today announced that it has won a new contract with the U.S. General Services Administration, that allow federal government agencies to purchase the company’s proven energy-saving technologies, systems and services from pre-approved price lists.

The use of EASI’s technologies in federal facilities – such as office buildings, retail outlets, warehouses and hangars, manufacturing plants, air conditioning units and street lights – will assist U.S. government agencies in promoting sustainable energy initiatives. According to the GSA, the federal government spends approximately $9 billion on energy bills every year, which includes electrical energy expenses for 500,000 federal government facilities.

The GSA approval process, completed at the beginning of July, involved government review of EASI’s products and services and agreement on pricing for an initial five-year term, with three, five-year options. EASI and EASI’s Affiliates – who market and distribute the company’s products – now can offer the company’s energy-saving solutions to federal facilities that employ approximately 1 million federal workers.

“This new contract is an excellent opportunity for us and our global network of Affiliates to support the government’s efforts to go green,” said Dr. Paul Bleiweis, president of Energy Automation Systems Inc. “By further reducing energy consumption and waste, we can play an important role in helping government facilities go green while saving taxpayers significant dollars.”
