ATLANTA, GA – January 4, 2006 – Prenova announced today that one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world has contracted with Prenova to provide energy management through its Performance Assurance® solution. This solution set will deliver re-commissioning and reprogramming to the telecommunication’s top 200 facilities, which represents nearly 80% of their annual energy spend. Prenova was selected for the proven energy management patent pending technologies that rapidly identify, quantify, and prioritize areas for energy cost savings opportunities, as well as risks. The virtual nature of Prenova's audit capability offered a substantial reduction in up-front costs, plus the ability to significantly accelerate the re-commissioning program. The benefits of Prenova's capabilities are unmatched anywhere.

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.

It is a top provider in the nation of local voice services, long distance voice services, broadband DSL services, and wireless services, and is one of the world's largest providers of IP-based communications services for businesses.
