Steady Growth for Smartcool in American Midwest

VANCOUVER, Aug. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSX-V: SSC) is experiencing consistent growth in the American Midwest market led by its distribution channel, Total Energy Concepts (TEC).  Smartcool has seen a consistent increase in ECO³™ sales to TEC, averaging 130% growth by revenue each quarter since the company began its distribution agreement in March 2010.

TEC customers include small to medium businesses, particularly within the grocery and retail industries.  TEC provides customers with an array of energy management solutions, which includes Smartcool's ECO³™.  Most recently, TEC has completed ECO³™ energy efficiency projects with multiple outlet customers such as Regis Salons and Designers Guild.  This is a true win/win for TEC's customers purchasing the ECO³™ as they cut energy consumption while receiving a payback in the 2 year range.

"We are enjoying a great deal of success as a distributor of Smartcool's ECO³™," explains Doug Overvold, President of TEC.  "Our strategy is a Circle of Optimization that focuses on voltage conditioning, power factor, lighting, and facility grounding.  Now with Smartcool we are able to optimize the cooling and refrigeration as well, which is an important addition to the solutions we offer our customers."

"Smartcool is very pleased to have a distribution channel of TEC's caliber in the Midwest," says George Burnes, President & CEO of Smartcool.  Success in this region is significant for our business. Strong sales here demonstrate that even in areas where electricity rates are below the national average and relatively mild summer temperatures mean a lower average demand for cooling, our products still provide considerable value to customers."
