VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – July 18, 2017) – Ted Konyi, CEO, Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSX VENTURE: SSC) (OTC PINK: SSCFF) is pleased to announce that the company’s ECO3 energy solution product has successfully saved in excess of 30% energy at a Mercedes-Benz, Ipswich auto dealer, which is part of the Jardine Motor group.
Jardine Motors is an authorised franchisee for 23 motoring manufacturers, they operate across 70 locations and employ over 3,000 team members, operating under the successful Lancaster trading name.
LCS Energy, having identified a number of heat pumps that would benefit from Smartcool’s ECO3 energy reduction product, engaged with the Smartcool engineers who then installed at the Merdeces-Benz site in Ipswich. The Mitsubishi Heat Pumps were connected via an OEM control card without downtime or any negative impact. Device level sub metering was then installed by Smartcool engineers to measure energy consumption, isolating the supply to the Mitsubishi Heat Pumps which enabled LCS Energy the ability to validate results through a fully accessed web portal. Energy data clearly showed continued savings that were in excess of 30%.
Steven Martin, Smartcool’s Executive Vice President said, “This installation is the first of many from Smartcool and LCS Energy, a successful partnership that has seen this project designed and executed by the Smartcool’s UK team that delivered fantastic results. The Smartcool energy solution will bring both financial and environmental benefits to The Jardine Group.”
Ted Konyi stated, “Our UK team did a great job working with LCS Energy and the people at Jardine Motor Group on this project. The results from the installation further proved the efficacy of the Smartcool technology. In particular, the fact that this is a heat pump means that the client will be seeing energy savings year round. We are pleased to assist Jardine Motors in reducing their carbon footprint and look forward to working with them at the balance of their auto dealerships.”
James Martin, Business Development Director at LCS Energy commented, “Following the installation of an energy monitoring solution across the Mercedes-Benz dealership, LCS was able to analyse the overall energy consumption on site. This analysis allowed us to present Smartcool as an informed and focused investment to support Jardine Group’s global objectives of increasing efficiencies and realising energy reductions to meet their ESOS compliance in the UK. The results have achieved above expectations and following this success a nationwide roll-out is now being considered.”
