ATLANTA, GA – September 30, 2005 – Prenova announced today that it has signed a multi-year agreement with a major telecommunications company in delivering Continuous CommissioningSM to 1,160 of the customer's critical facility sites. The company selected Prenova because one of the company’s top priorities is to provide network reliability to its customers. Prenova’s Performance Assurance® solution helps the customer improve its asset performance and increase its network reliability.

Through its Performance Assurance® solution, Prenova provides a set of tools and processes that remotely identifies, analyzes, quantifies, and assists in the resolution of anomalies and opportunities in the operation of Energy Management Systems (EMS), HVAC equipment, controlled lighting systems, controlled refrigeration, and other energy-using assets. Performance Assurance® identifies asset failure in its early stages by proactively finding issues, errors, trends, and other information that currently increase energy cost and/or increase the cost of asset repair, replacement, service, and maintenance. A punch list of issues to be corrected is generated along with an asset scorecard to track, over time, the goals, and actual performance improvement for each asset per customer location. This allows the customer or their designated agent to quickly and efficiently resolve the situation to minimize the cost of energy while reducing the risk of failure or impaired performance of assets and systems.

Telecommunications Firm Overview

The customer is a Fortune 100 communications company. It offers voice and data services to residential and small business customers with dial-up and high-speed DSL Internet access, satellite television, and wireless service. The company maintains 20 million access lines in service, more than 7 million long-distance customers, and nearly 3 million DSL subscribers.

Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Marietta, GA, Prenova, Inc. delivers visibility, manageability, and predictability (VMP®) over customers’ energy usage, price, energy-related asset performance, and maintenance costs. Through its energy management solutions, the company works both sides of the energy bill to drive down energy expenditures and thus improve profitability.

Prenova’s unique delivery platform enables the company to leverage existing customer assets to produce immediate, enhanced investment returns through reductions in both direct (price, tariff, utility payments) and indirect (usage, assets, maintenance) energy costs, while simultaneously improving reliability of business operations.
