E-Mon Awarded GSA's Federal Supply Schedule Contract

Federal Energy Managers Now Approved to Purchase Advanced Metering Technology

LANGHORNE, PA - April 20, 2004 - E-Mon, L.P., the industry leader in energy submetering systems, today announced it has been awarded a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule Contract for its advanced metering products. E-Mon is the first full-service submetering company to be added to the GSA schedule, an approved product purchasing guide and catalog for federal facility managers nationwide.

"The metering and submetering of federal facilities simply makes good sense. After all, without measurement, it's difficult to manage energy consumption," said Ab Ream, operations and maintenance program manager for the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program. "Having seen the positive effect that metering and submetering can have in the private sector, the federal government views this practice as an integral means of controlling energy costs."

E-Mon already has assisted many federal facility managers, including those at the Smithsonian Institution, the Los Angeles Air Force Base, and the U.S. Naval Station at Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, to achieve utility cost reductions as well as perform cost allocations and bill users.

“Energy intelligence is the key to saving millions of dollars,” said Gene Foley, director of federal marketing at E-Mon’s parent company, Hunt Power, L.P. “The GSA is expediting access for hundreds more federal facility managers to control their energy costs and save taxpayer money.”

The GSA schedule also includes the E-Mon D-MonTM and the Pro-MonTM submeters, which enable organizations to benchmark, analyze and allocate their energy consumption costs, and RightEnergyTM software, an integrated energy intelligence system for electricity, gas, water, steam and other energy sources. RightEnergyTM allows users to allocate and bill costs for all utility services to the actual users of that energy. The system works in tandem with E-Mon submeters to give facility managers important snapshots of their energy use, enabling them to better understand when, where and how energy is being used in their organizations, as well as the power quality levels at each monitored point.

A nationwide network of E-Mon distributors is available to federal energy managers and facility operators at www.emon.com or by calling (800) 334-3666. The products on the Federal Supply Schedule are also listed and available for purchase on the GSA Advantage! Web site (http://www.gsa.gov).

E-Mon, L.P., a Hunt Power company, has offices in Philadelphia, Dallas and San Diego. E-Mon products are used worldwide by commercial office, residential and retail properties, industrial, and government and educational facilities to allocate utility costs and control energy use. E-Mon has been providing energy intelligence to companies in diverse industries for more than two decades.
