Smartcool Systems Inc. announced that its subsidiary in the UK has received Purchase Orders from Central England Co-operative (Co-op) for installation of proprietary Smartcool ECO3 at 68 Co-op sites. The project includes installing the Company's optimization technology on 120 heat pumps. While most of the Heat Pumps are manufactured by Mitsubishi, the technology will also be applied on Daikin, Fujitsu and Toshiba units.

This initial project is proceeding after an extensive test period of 6 months over 4 sites. The results achieved confirmed savings of over 25% in kWh consumption compared to normal operations. Co-op anticipates annual savings of greater than 860,000 kWh resulting in a simple payback of less than 3 years not including tax benefits.
