EMERSON CLIMATE TECHNOLOGIES EXPANDS PROACT™ SOFTWARE SUITE TO INCLUDE ENERGY TOOLS

Tools Enable Retailers to Monitor Energy Usage Across Their Enterprise

ST. LOUIS, Sept 8, 2008 – Today Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), introduced an extension to its innovative ProAct™ suite of software and services that allows retailers to monitor and target energy usage across an enterprise.  These new tools have the capability of lowering a retailer’s energy usage by 5-10 percent overall through better energy management. 

“With energy costs at near record levels, monitoring energy usage is a top concern for retailers today,” said Bill Coulombe, president, Emerson Climate Technologies, Retail Solutions division. “These new tools will deliver a complete view of a retailer’s energy usage, enabling them to prioritize improvements and reduce energy usage.”

Using these new tools, ProAct produces an ‘energy target’ that predicts each store’s total energy usage under various conditions.  Armed with this model, ProAct compares actual energy usage with the energy target and provides reports that identify costly increases or decreases in energy usage. This information can also be used to identify and prioritize maintenance issues to ensure that retailers get the most out of every maintenance dollar.

The ProAct software suite is a key component of Emerson’s Intelligent Store™ architecture.  The Intelligent Store architecture establishes an integrated suite of products and services that provides retail operators with a new level of operational sophistication. When combined, these innovative Emerson Climate Technologies products and services are proven to enable maintenance, energy and other operational savings. Also included in the Intelligent Store architecture are the E2 Facility Management System, Control Link^™ device controllers, Intelligent Store Discus^® compressors, select Lennox^® rooftop units, and other third-party devices.
