Nachshon Draiman, ADMMicro Installing Energy Saving System in Advance Auto
Parts Stores
Roanoke, VA (PRWEB) September 13, 2006 -- ADMMicro, a privately held Roanoke,
VA-based company, announced an agreement with Advance Auto Parts to retrofit
certain existing stores and equip new stores with a ground-breaking Energy
Management System (EMS).
For almost two years, Advance Auto Parts has tested the EMS system in select
stores and documented excellent energy savings, said Don Howell, CEO of
ADMMicro. The ADMMicro system has proven itself against Advance Auto Parts
aggressive ROI requirements.
The nucleus of the ADMMicro system is a patent-pending controller that enables
monitoring and remote control of individual uses of electricity or natural gas
with integrated thermostats and load controllers. In addition to providing
optimal energy utilization, the system enhances Advance Auto Parts store
operations by monitoring maintenance and service-related issues. ADMMicro
remotely monitors Advance Auto Parts stores 24/7 for energy consumption trends
as well as potential or actual HVAC failures and notifies maintenance staff
when action is needed.
Historically, it was difficult to cost-justify the installation of energy
management systems in anything but larger facilities, explained Howell. But
the ADMMicro integrated system has broken that mold and is a viable business
proposition for buildings as small as 1,500 square feet. In addition to the
energy savings Advance Auto Parts is achieving, the company is further
demonstrating its commitment to protect the environment with a reduction of
greenhouse gas emission and pollution through superior energy efficiency.
We installed ADMMicro devices in approximately 800 stores two years ago, and
have been very pleased with the energy savings these systems have produced,
said Jim Wade, Executive Vice President of Business Development for Advance
Auto Parts. As a result of that validation, we are installing these systems in
another 1,000 stores by the end of this year. This investment produces
excellent returns, especially in an environment of elevated energy prices. This
program also highlights Advances commitment to be a good steward of natural
resources, and complements Advances existing environmental programs, which
include free recycling of used motor oil and automotive batteries.
