Platts Honors Site Controls’ Clean Energy Platform as Finalist for the 2007 Commercial Technology of the Year

AUSTIN, TX – November 30, 2007 Site Controls, LLC, a leading provider of enterprise-based energy management, operational intelligence, and grid efficiency solutions, announced today that it was named as finalist for the 2007 Platts Global Energy  “Commercial Technology of the Year” award.

The “Commercial Technology” category honors companies that have exhibited an ability to stay at the forefront of the energy field by combining leading innovation with the ability to channel that innovation into commercially viable products.  Site Controls executives, along with other honored industry leaders, celebrated last night at an awards ceremony and dinner at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

Site Controls is a pioneer of innovative clean energy and grid efficiency solutions.  Using information technology, the platform provides the link between energy providers and consumers.  The technology platform, deployed at almost 2000 locations, optimizes daily energy consumption and reduces emissions by centrally controlling major energy users, like HVACs and lighting, in all the locations across a commercial customer’s enterprise.

Using the same resources, the platform also intelligently reduces peak energy usage by executing predefined and business-friendly demand response strategies.  The system’s unique aggregation and auction capabilities allow Site Controls to treat the energy usage across all sites as a single resource, intelligently lowering the least consequential loads first, and at the same time providing a clean, carbon-negative generation-quality resource back to the electric grid.

“We are honored to have been selected as a finalist for this award, especially considering the field of outstanding companies recognized in the category this year,” said Dan Sharplin, CEO of Site Controls.  “Four years ago, we started with a vision for creating a technology revolution in this industry and providing a solution for the growing energy crisis we are now facing.  We consider this selection as validation not just of that vision, but of all the disciplined execution by the Site Controls team that is turning the vision into reality.”
