ALISO VIEJO, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 30, 2012) - Premier Holding Corp. (
The acquired AES patents include technologies that are some of the most energy-efficient lighting control products within the energy efficiency industry, providing reliable, cost-effective solutions, with a typical 25 percent energy lighting savings. Such technologies include the Active ES E-Series™ (energy management modules for commercial and industrial buildings and lighted outdoor media signage), Active ES LiteHawk™ (energy saving lighting controls for strings of street lights and parking lot lights) and Active ES LiteOwl™ (energy saving lighting controls for an individual street light with a standard photocell).
"PRHL is thrilled to have acquired the U.S. and international patents and other intellectual property from AES," stated Kevin Donovan, president and CEO of PRHL. "We're also looking forward to working with Larry Young, James Archdekin and the rest of the brilliant minds at AES in a new way. Our immediate goals are to achieve industry-wide recognition of the AES lighting control technologies for commercial, institutional and municipal adoptions of the technology through sales orders and to establish our manufacturing and expanded sales channels for products based on these technologies. Our near immediate term goals are to vertically integrate the AES lighting control technologies into other complementary energy savings technologies through our licensing business model."
"All of us at Active ES are very pleased with the sale to Premier Holding and the opportunity to be working with the Company," stated Larry Young, president and CEO of AES. "We are extremely optimistic about the potential of success of the Active ES lighting controls with the solid leadership and resources of Premier Holding and WEPOWER Ecolutions."
WEPOWER Ecolutions Energy Savings Advantage Example with Active ES:
Active ES lighting controls allows an end user client to select from a pre-setting range from 10 percent to 36 percent savings in lighting energy consumption based on their environment and performance requirements. For example, a typical warehouse structure drawing 1,100 megawatts annually set to 25 percent savings on an Active ES E-Series lighting control will produce 275 negawatts annually. That's a direct reduction in 6.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide, 11,480 pounds of sulfur dioxide, 19,140 pounds of nitrogen oxide and a conservation of an amazing 6.875 million gallons of fresh water per annum. At a rate of 10 cents per kWh, that's also $27,500 in business sustainability annually. Active ES lighting controls are modular designs that can be repurposed to future facilities, 95 percent recyclable by weight, meets RoHS compliance standards, and all Active ES lighting controls are UL listed.
