LINCOLN, R.I., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dean Warehouse, a New England warehousing, logistics and transportation company, is using the EnerLume-EM(TM) in combination with a fluorescent lighting retrofit to reduce its energy usage and reduce its costs for electricity. "Our energy costs were soaring, and we had been looking for ways to get them under control," said Brad Dean, chief executive officer of Cumberland, Rhode Island based Dean Warehouse. "One of the things we realized is that we were wasting energy by lighting all areas of the warehouse equally during the full 18 hours a day they are opened, but with the new lighting retrofit fixtures controlled by the EnerLume controller, we further reduced the energy needed to provide adequate light throughout the facility, without losing perceived luminosity." Mr. Dean said that after the first few months of operation, the electric utility serving the warehouse questioned the decline in usage. "We told them about the lighting retrofit and the additional savings by using the EnerLume and like all electric utilities they were pleased that we had taken such a significant step to control energy consumption," he noted. EnerLume-EM(TM) uses patent pending technology to manage incoming power so that the fluorescent light ballasts draw energy from the electric wave only when power transmission is most efficient. This allows perceived light levels to be maintained while significantly reducing electric consumption. Additional savings can be generated by using EnerLume-EM(TM) proprietary software to dim or selectively curtail lights during after hours or reduced use periods. Dean Warehouse customers are also benefitting from the use of the EnerLume controller. Most of its customers' leases are on a triple net basis, so the savings in this operating cost are being passed on to them. The EnerLume-EM(TM) was originally installed in one of Dean's warehouses and upon proven results Host received a change order for an additional five locations. Work has commenced on the change order and the second warehouse has been completed. Dean is one of the 20 largest private warehousing companies in the United States. The EnerLume-EM(TM) light controller is distributed by Host America Corporation (OTC:CAFE.PK). EnerLume-EM(TM) is a trademark of Host America Corporation. About EnerLume-EM(TM) The EnerLume-EM(TM) is a patent pending lighting energy management system which uses technology to manage incoming power so that the ballasts for fluorescent lights draw energy from the electric wave only when power transmission is most efficient.
