Press Release Summary: Green Edge Systems, Inc, sponsor of the 18th National
Energy Services Conference (AESP) to present its real time energy savings,
Temperature Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance GreenGuard Sensor and Energy
Savings Platform at the AESP\'s 18th National Energy Services Conference , Hilton
Clearwater Beach Resort, Clearwater Beach, FL, January 28-31, 2008.

Press Release Body: Woodland Hills, CA, January 28, 2008 -- Green Edge Systems,
Inc., a trusted leader of real time energy savings, predictive maintenance and
temperature monitoring solutions for campuses, schools, hospitals, sponsor of the
18th National Energy Services Conference (AESP) to present its GreenGuard
state-of-the-art hardware products, software and communication platforms at the
AESP\'s 18th National Energy Services Conference , Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort,
Clearwater Beach, FL, January 28-31, 2008.
GreenGuard continuously monitors the savings and the actual energy and maintenance
bills and helps deliver increased ROI, boosting savings with a continuous
improvement approach.
The hardware products are comprised of a variety of powerline, wireless, wired and
stand-alone low cost introductory products, making it affordable to any size school
district.
The software platform utilizes advanced Business Intelligence (BI) tools that allow
energy savings, predictive maintenance and temperature monitoring in one integrated
system.
This platform allows implementation of demand response, Carbon-Trade and other
future energy savings and greenhouse gas incentive-based programs.
Initial energy and maintenance savings of over 20 percent, achieved by the basic
system, allows its introduction into campuses, with savings that are much higher
than the initial investment in its first year. The savings in following years remain
with the customers. The communication and management platform allows the addition of
any current and future energy saving systems as an additional module.
Green Generates Green - is the topic of many articles such as HVACR Business. Green
Edge Systems, Inc. proves that there is immediate return on the investment in its
GreenGuard Platform, with annual savings of up to 35%.
Visitors at the Conference will be able to view the Dashboard Software that monitors
the Energy Savings, Predictive Maintenance and Temperature Monitoring and the
various elements of the GreenGuard sensor platform.
The GreenGuard sensor platform includes a family of state-of-the-art wireless
sensors with the following features:
. Wireless Data logging
. Internal Relative Humidity/Temp sensors
. 4 recording inputs: 4-20mA, 0-1V, Pulse counter, PT100 2-wires, NTC, Thermocouple
J, K and T , door sensors
. Dry contact in each wireless sensor


Other sensors in the GreenGuard family are:
. A wired logging device - ideal for smaller installations
. A low cost USB temperature recording device that allows 24/7 temperature
monitoring at a cost per location with two measuring point of under $200 per
location
. Multiple input temperature recorder and refrigeration controller
. Multiple input temperature recorder, refrigeration, air conditioning and lighting
controller
In multi location installations such as in school districts, a mixture of the above
sensors can be installed, all managed through a single advanced Dashboard
application software.
Following are the main features of the GreenGuard Sensor family; to better
understand the uniqueness of Green Edge Systems offerings, ask any alternative
provider of temperature and other monitoring solutions in the market if they can
provide the following GreenGuard capabilities:
. Immediate alerts when the refrigeration system is not working or malfunctioning.
. Prediction of compressor or other system failures with alerts to avoid critical
damage, similar to the red warning light in your car before a critical engine
failure. We provide the same type of alerts when compressors are about to fail, with
no additional equipment. Would you buy a car without this feature? Can you afford
buying a monitoring system for your refrigeration system without this feature?
. Immediate power outage alert with no additional equipment.
. Highly affordable - starting at under $200 per location, provides 24/7 temperature
recording, reporting and alerts.
. Wireless sensors that fully implement the Zigbee Mesh Networking Protocol
-superior to Zigbee in a point-to-point mode which may fail with future network
saturation.
. Bi-directional communication between the system and the sensors, allowing for
seamless setting of sensors to new parameters such as immediate response on
momentary door openings nights and weekends, different parameters of temperature
settings for night and weekends, use of lower priced energy at night and more.
. Over-the-network firmware updates, eliminating the need for on-site technician.
. Calibration of the sensors over the network.
. Temperature readout on each sensor, gateway and repeater.
. Temperature and door opening samplings, customer-configurable, even once per
minute or less, allowing for better control of food quality, alerts and more.
. Local alerts even when the network is down.
. Power backup on each sensor - sensors continue to collect data, even if battery
fails or if power is out.
. Low cost repeaters to extend range of coverage.
. Multiple input sensors - more then 4 inputs per sensor.
. Every sensor has its own Dry Contact, allowing connectivity to a
building/HVAC/energy management system. Detailed alerts from each sensors are
provided even if the network in down.
. Data is never lost in a power outage and there is no need for uninterruptible
power supply (UPS).
. Monitoring and controlling of energy usage and saving, resulting in up to 20%
energy savings.
. Prevention of unnecessary defrost cycles.
. Monitoring food temperatures in addition to air temperatures.
Other features to consider for system selection appear in the Special PP&P Buyer\'s
Guide: Wireless Temperature Monitoring,

Also on display, GreenGuard Econer by Nortex, a powerline carrier
communication system. The system is based on the eLOG mini PLC (Programmable Logic
Control) device.
The eLOG can be configured as a smart controller for air conditioning, coolers,
chillers, light dimming, appliances control and interfacing with sub metering for
total energy reading, temperature monitoring, analysis and real time power factor
corrections.
The eLOG is uploaded with configuration via the powerline communication by the main
concentrator terminal DCT-11 which is a gateway for up to 1024 eLOG devices.

The GreenGuard Econer by Nortex powerline communication is based on a
combination of a spread spectrum DSP (Digital Signal Processing) modem meeting the
CENELEC Std. and an intelligent dynamic adaptive mesh networking layer, using real
time updated relaying feature according to environment power grid conditions for a
significant coverage performance. First installations of GreenGuard Econer
by Nortex, fully integrated with the Green Edge Systems dashboard platform are
expected later in 2008.

Reliable powerline communication is by far the best way of communication in campuses
such as hospitals and Schools. No special installation is needed.

Green Edge Systems provides you with the best of both worlds - affordable and
efficient powerline technology combined with wireless sensors to provide extended
reach as needed in conjunction with wireless applications.
